"Minerals-Fossils-Orchids" Exhibition

The Mineral and Fossil Seekers' Club is pleased to return to the splendid setting of the Ancient Convent of Monte Carasso to present the fourth edition of a unique exhibition of its kind in Switzerland, the "Minerals-Fossils-Orchids-Ornamental Plants" market, which this year will also host a photography exhibition by Michela Pini.

In collaboration with Orchidable, the only centre specialising in orchids in the Canton of Ticino, the club is pleased to invite you to this unusual market exhibition ready to present and offer you the many wonders of nature, ranging from the iridescent colours of minerals, to fragrant orchids, but also from the always marvellous fossils to the plants that will adorn the portico of the convent cloister and help to colour the already lively little square.

This fair, which, as mentioned, will be the only event of its kind south of the Alps, will aim to promote paleontological, mineralogical and botanical knowledge.

Unlike the official Club exchange, with this lighter version, as light as spring, we want to offer visitors young and old the jewels of nature that surround our territory, thanks to the presence of exhibitors from Ticino.

Enthusiasts or the merely curious will be able to admire and purchase minerals, fossils, as well as gemstone and jewellery creations and, of course, orchids of various shapes, colours and hybrids, as well as citrus, olive and other Mediterranean green plants that will grace the courtyard arcades.

The event will be held on Saturday 30 May from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday 31 May from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., at the Antico Convento di Monte Carasso in Via El Sementeri 2, admission free of charge.
