MiMa, located in Oberwolfach in the central Black Forest of southern Germany, is a unique museum that combines the fields of mineralogy and mathematics. This distinctive blend reflects the region's rich mineral resources and the knowledge of the Mathematics Research Institute, Oberwolfach.

Exhibits and Interactive Installations at MiMa

MiMa is not just a display of Black Forest minerals and mathematical insights. It also explores the connections between these two fields. Interactive installations in the museum help visitors understand the concepts of symmetry and crystallography, which are central to both mineralogy and mathematics.

Mineral and Mining Exhibits at MiMa

MiMa houses a collection of minerals and mining artifacts from the entire Black Forest region, with a particular focus on minerals from the nearby Clara Pit. The museum uses films and information to enhance the visitor experience. A scale model of the mine, complete with mining galleries and shafts down to sea level, provides a detailed look into the mining process.
