Dear Sirs,

(1) Is the Folch collection shown now (December 2011)?
(2) Is the displayed mineral collection otherwise extensive?

We'll visit Barcelona soon and I'd like to plan ahead.

Thanks,

Zoltan

Sorry, the Folch Collection is not shown publicly. You can get more details in the article published in Rock & Minerals:
The Joaquín Folch Girona Mineral Collection, Barcelona, Spain

I recomend also this other two topics:
The Folch Collection
My visit to the Folch Collection

Thanks, though I am sorry to hear that. In fact, it was the article in the magazine which made me interested. I presume there is no way to have a private viewing, is there?

How about the actual displayed collection? Is it very extensive?

Thanks for your time.

Sorry if a part of my question was not clear. I wanted to have some information on how extensive the museum's mineral exhibit (viewable for any ticketholder) is.

Again, many thanks for your time.

I think ebayster is referring to Blau Museum of Barcelona, not to the Folch collection. Fortunately we have here Carles Curto, curator of the mineralogical section of the Museum, who can answer the question as soon as he reads it.
