Whoever speaks of "flower power" certainly first remembers the hippie movement of the 60s, flower children, peace demonstrations, closeness to nature and the creation of a peaceful world order. However, "Flower Power" also shows the flower and plant bounty in nature. The museum would like to dedicate its new exhibition to this theme in a very special way: Minerals in a broader sense have something to do with flowers and plants. There are minerals that are named after flowers, such as gypsum or sand roses. In addition, the symmetry of crystals and flowers is contrasted or "indicator plants" such as white clover are discussed, which can only grow in alkaline soils. In viticulture, too, more and more emphasis is being placed on the "terroir", the natural site factors of a soil, its minerality and its influence on the cultivated plants. The new special exhibition "blooming minerals" is dedicated to this one and many other topics.
