Lizzadro Museum of Lapidary Art

Excellent collection of Lapidary art! So many great stones and carvings! Absolutely beautiful and very educational! My family loved visiting here! The introduction video I highly recommend watching before walking through the museum, it gives a thorough explanation of the formation of the precious stones and minerals.

It was a great experience! Me and my friend aren't great with camera work though but Andy, who works there, was so nice and helpful! He is a professional photographer and it showed! Made all of our shots look so much better! If you go here, be sure and ask for Andy and let him take the pics for you and you won't be disappointed!

This was a very interesting find. If you are wondering around the area looking for something cheap to do this is definitely it. Simply aw-inspiring. The works of are that are done by hand are incredibly detailed. This little gem is chalked full of history and truly intriguing information.

Right now a Faust cameo exhibit is here from Germany. It is definitely worth seeing and the whole museum is amazingly wonderful. Check schedule for live music. I saw a cello/violin performance that chose music to stir emotions and imaginations along the Faust storyline. It was sublime, delightful and what can I say ... I really enjoyed visiting. We arrived too late and wished we had more time there. 2 hours should be plenty of time. Weds are their free day.

Such an interesting museum! Not only focusing on rocks and minerals, but beautiful art pieces made of them as well. Just the right size for an outing or field trip. Very educational as well as esthetically pleasing. The gift shop is full of really cool purchases from
.75 to thousands of dollars... something for everyone! Highly recommend!
