We'll be establishing a museum from scratch. Very few people have the opportunity to do this. We'll be at the ground floor, designing exhibit installations and determining future expansion needs. I am going to visit other museums to get ideas from them, too. As Director of the Weis Earth Science Museum, Kluessendorf also expects to jump right into networking within the Fox Cities community.
Kids love geology.
They find interesting things all around them they have a natural interest and curiosity. They're always collecting things, especially rocks. Our Museum is going to show how minerals are present in our society, and how they affect our daily lives, which will interest both children and adults. And, of course, everyone is naturally attracted to the beauty of minerals, rocks and fossils. I like to bring specimens to the kids' attention when they're in the Museum.
