    It's always impressive to see such a collection but at the same time I think its really incomplete without a display of different basalts :)

    Wow that was fun, even if it was NYC. I remembered again why I stopped figuring out what kind of rock something is and just started calling them pretty rocks (pr) and leaverites. I never had an argument about what kind of the rock it is, ever again. They were all beautiful. Thanks for sharing and glad you made it home ok. Be happy, safe and stay healthy 😷⚒

    Kate, thank you so much for taking us along on this adventure! That is my kind of museum. Two questions: how long did you spend there/how much of it did you get to see, and how much red-tape did you have to go through to get the go-ahead for recording while inside?

    • @KatyDidRocks
      @KatyDidRocks  2 года назад +1

      I actually was only there a couple of hours, which seems to be my limit for museum-viewing. There are 24 buildings, so we only saw a fraction. As far as filming, photography is allowed inside.

Well now I guess you will have to go to Archeological school 🏫 and get a 2nd degree under your belt.
