The Geology Museum was first located on the third floor of the original Science Hall building. However, a large portion of the museum's collections were lost during the fire that devastated the old Science Hall in 1884. The Geology Museum was relocated to the new Science Hall building, which was completed in 1887. The Geology Museum currently resides in Weeks Hall. |
