Mini Museum - Fifth Edition (LARGE - 34 Specimens)

The Fifth Edition Collection (MM5) begins with the stellar heart of our solar system. The core of a primitive celestial body formed in the cataclysmic heat and violent aftermath of the sun’s ignition. We'll journey from this exuberant beginning more than 4.6 billion years ago to visit with our closest neighbors in the cosmos.

Stellar Heart (Muonionalusta Meteorite), Martian Dust Storm (Shergottite, NWA 7397), Starry Night (Lunar Meteorite, NWA 13951), Magma Ocean (Isua Greenstone), Cauldron of Life (Deep Sea Hydrothermal Vents), Rough Ruby (Mozambique), Conquest of Land (First Land Plants), Dunkleosteus (Armored Fish, Permian Bone, Coelacanth ("The Living Fossil"), Carcharodontosaurus (Tooth), Oviraptor (Bone), Daspletosaurus (Bone), Alamosaurus (Bone), Woolly Rhinoceros (Bone), Glyptodon (Scute), Darwin Glass (Tektite), Dawn of Creativity (Red Ochre), Early Modern Humans (Stone Tool Core), Lost Civilization (Luristan Bronze Sword), Roman Siege Engines (Ballista Shot), Ottoman Empire (Kemha Silk), Monticello (Home of Thomas Jefferson), Old Ironsides (USS Constitution), Amelia Earhart (Vega 5B, First Solo Transatlantic Crossing), (Stainless Steel Mullions), Cold War Espionage (Soviet Spy Camera), Walt Disney (Disneyland, Main Street Apartment), Queen of the Skies (Boeing 747), Woodstock (The Original 1969 Stage), Nuclear Arms Race (Trident 1 C4 Missile), Sony Walkman, Mount Everest (Climbing Rope), Gateway to the Stars (Launch Complex 39A, Kennedy Space Center)Quite a list, right?

Turning to Earth, we enter a world bathed in fire. Billions of years pass before the first stirrings of life, and then suddenly, it is everywhere.

We will explore it all... from armored fish in the ocean's depths to the conquest of land, and scrambling creatures covering the surface of our planet. We'll see the largest creatures ever to roam the earth as well as those who evolved to prey upon their majestic forms.

This 34-Specimen LARGE version will only be available for a short time. It is an overrun from our highly successful crowdfunding campaign and contains several exclusive specimens. Once the overruns are gone, it will be replaced by a 29-Specimen version. We are excited to continue the journey together, sharing the love of science and history with the world!

The Mini Museum is a handmade product and the production process lends itself to small variations.  All Mini Museums are sold "as-is" and by purchasing a Mini Museum, you acknowledge that such variations can occur. Such variations highlight the artisanal nature of the project, as each Mini Museum is made by hand and absolutely unique.

The Mini Museum is a portable collection of curiosities where every item is authentic, iconic and labeled. It's been carefully designed to take you on a journey of learning and exploration. Each Mini Museum is a handcrafted, limited edition.

The Fifth Edition LARGE includes:

• Detailed Printed Companion Guide
• Custom Microfiber Pouch
• Display and Storage Box with Magnetic Clasp
• Certificate of Authenticity

Each Mini Museum is handcrafted and carefully encased in acrylic and ready to inspire you. Display it on your desktop, mantle, or coffee table. Or carry it in your pocket - Mini Museum can go wherever you go. It also makes a beautiful gift for the person that has everything. (We all know some of those people. Not one of them has anything like this!)
