The Albert Kersten Mining and Minerals Museum

The Albert Kersten Mining and Minerals Museum holds an exquisite collection of minerals pulled from the mines of Broken Hill.  Each specimen is dazzling in its beauty and rarity.

 

 

 

The timbers in this portion of the museum were pulled from one of the local mines.  The wood originated in the forests of Oregon and was shipped across the ocean and a continent to shore up the tunnels around Broken Hill.
