English summary 

The Geological Museum is situated in Velp (route, map), province of Gelderland, in the eastern part of the Netherlands.
In the museum an extensive collection of minerals from all over the world is displayed. The specimens are arranged according to the system of Strunz.

The last cold stage but one – the Saalian or Wolstonian Stage - brought many rocks from Scandinavia to the Netherlands, and the museum boasts a collection of considerable quality. The Scandinavian origin of these erratics may be demonstrated by comparing them with fresh rock samples from countries such as Sweden, Norway, and Finland.

Fossils dating from the Cambrian to the Neogene are exhibited on the first floor. Among these are remains of plants from the Carboniferous and mammalian bones from the Pleistocene .

Children may participate in activities such as a search through the museum (If their answers are correct, they will get a little prize) or polishing stones under the guidance of professionals. 

In our shop, various gems, minerals, ornaments, and knickknacks are for sale at fair prices.

A cup of coffee or tea is available.
