Commission on Museums
Strategy
The IMA-CM was established to link the mineralogical sections of museums around the world. The best specimens of minerals, and those described for the first time, are often collected in museums, and the history of mineralogy is intimately bound to the history of museum mineral collections.
The IMA Commission on Museums has officially endorsed the Society of Mineral Museum Professionals as the organization to unite mineral museum curators world-wide.
