Well worth the trip. Diverse collection of gems and minerals. World class quality raw minerals on display in stunning settings. Impressive display of gems and jewelry. Most enjoyed the mineral “library” which catalogued specimens by local region of origin names.

100 of Maine’s many mineral species are on display in an interactive, alphabetically organized exhibit.
Great display of meteorites and space minerals, with good explanations. Some are older than Earth itself, some originate from the Moon and Mars, others contain amino acids—the building blocks of life—and then there are those that contain extraterrestrial gems.
Ten freestanding mirrored glass pylons showcase Maine’s finest gems—including amethyst, aquamarine and tourmaline. Digital labels featuring enlarged photographs of the gems display important information about each specimen including the gem’s origin, miner, lapidary artist, and provenance. In addition, custom jewelry masterworks will be displayed, each meticulously designed and crafted with Maine gems by esteemed artists from around the country. Beautiful.
Very interesting. Worth the stop.

This is actually an amazing little museum, much more to see and do than I anticipated. Give yourself more time than I did.

This place really surprised me with the scale and quality of exhibits. Nice gift shop, too. I don’t understand how a tiny little town can support a museum of this quality. Really impressed.

We had not looked into this though it has been in Bethel for several years. We heard about it and thought it was a prospect for family (with kids) so we previewed it today. Excellent - exceptionally well done and informative. its DNA predecessor - the old Perhams shop in West Paris - had an interesting display area that brought you in to make gem purchases (always at a good price). This is that collection on steroids, expanded, and interactive. While it occupies what appear to be 3 early 20th Century Main Street building tied together, the exhibits flow smoothly through the building. Check with them via facebook to see what special events are on tap. We will return with family for a Saturday visit since they offer sluicing on summer Saturdays.

World class museum with a small-town feeling of welcome and assistance. A variety of displays greet you as you walk through the galleries and learn about the history of the area and the minerals found in Maine. Upstairs you get to touch a piece of a planet and the moon and see a world class collection of meteorites. Worth the time you spend.

Pardon the pun: but what a hidden ‘gem!’ We had never even heard of this museum and happened upon it. We wish we had known more about it so we could have alloyed more time to explore it longer. The amount of varied displays and MOON rocks and a rock from MARS! we’re more than enough reasons for future visits. But even if you only have one hour ( as was our case) you won’t be disappointed by even a shortened visit. Donna Marie was the most experienced and knowledgeable docent whose expertise and enthusiasm added to our enjoyment of the museum. She really was a terrific ambassador for the museum. Thank you, Donna!

The best indoor adventure in Bethel. Lots of short video clips along the way. Very educational with interactive screens.

Amazing and extensive collection, almost exclusively from Maine except for the meteorites- which was also an extensive and incredible collection. The interpretive displays and tools were first rate and engaging for all ages. The science staff, including one of the founders were engaging and excited to interpret the collection to you. Our 10-year-old scientist had a wonderful time as well as us.

I spent a couple of hours exploring the Maine Mineral and Gem Museum in downtown Bethel. The museum was full of samples mined in Maine. The exhibits ranged from the history and mining methods of the industry to actual samples of gemstones and minerals. The highlight of the museum is the massive meteorite exhibit. I was able to hold both moon and Mars meteorites as well. It was a great place to visit. I would highly recommend going out of your way to visit this great museum!
