Unique in the United States, people of all ages enjoy this Museum dedicated to sharing the beauty of cut and polished stone, promoting lapidary artists and the study of rocks and minerals. The Museum features a world-class collection of Chinese jade from the Qing dynasty and other hard stone carvings from around the world. Other exhibits include stone mosaics, cameos, animal dioramas, mineral specimens, gemstones, fossils, meteorites and the science of rocks and minerals. The Museum has been located in Oak Brook, Illinois, sixteen miles west of downtown Chicago since moving from Elmhurst in 2019. The new Museum features 15,000 sq. feet of exhibition space and amenities. The move enabled the Museum to display new pieces including the 5-foot tall, Altar of the Green Jade Pagoda and the Imperial Screen among many other exhibits. Amenities include a Museum Shop, lecture hall and Museum space rentals. Group tours are welcome with reservations. The Museum is fully ADA accessible and open year-round.
