Albert Kersten Geo Centre

This old but beautifully renovated building houses minerals, gems and interesting props regarding mining in Broken Hill and the town's special gift of minerals are displayed. The Geo Centre is not a static collection of rocks but a dynamic and active interpretive centre.

Hands-on exhibits, light, sound and movement. Discover some of the beauty and mystery of the world of minerals. Learn about the science of crystals, explore the history of our planet in the Time Line Room; find out for yourself, how the magic of metallurgy makes mineral processing possible. Uniquely designed cabinets display over 200 choice specimens at a time. Each of these specimens are individually lit so that they may be seen to their best possible advantage. The Geo Centre is part of The Living Museum Program, which is a city of Broken Hill initiative.
