The Juna Mineralogical Museum - one of the very important centers unifying the mineral collectors community in Poland as well as promoting the knowledge about the Earth science has burned down today in the morning. The collection of the Museum had been created for tens of years by the Naumowicz family. Please help our friends rebuild and regain the fruit of our lifes' work and passion. The Juna Mineralogical Museum had served for years not only as a museum but aslo as a cultural center promoting and spreading the interest in geology, rockhounting and love of the natural history. The founders of the Juna Museum have also revived the legend of Wallons - mountain people, hunters of treasures and jewels. Walloon Brotherhood in the Sudetes has been operating in Szklarska Poreba successfully popularizing medieval Walloon treasure hunters tradition among both visitors and locals. They have also been actively involved in all mineral-connected cultural events in the region including the Crystal Days in Lwówek Śląski and Mindat.org meetings/Conference. At the moment the losses are still being estimated and everything that left and did not get burned totally is being moved out of the ruins of the building. If you feel you would like to help us to rebuild the Juna Museum we would appreciate any financial help or specimen donations. Below you'll find the bank details:
