Review:
Clemson University’s Bob Campbell Geology Museum is located within the South Carolina Botanical Garden. The museum’s mission is to stimulate respect and curiosity for our natural resources through understanding of geology and the history of our planet. Permanent exhibits include the display of a saber tooth tiger skeleton, as well as a life-sized reconstruction of what the animal would have looked like when roaming the South Carolina hills many years ago. Dinosaur displays include the complete skull of a tyrannosaurus rex, and a cast of his relatively small brain. The museum is home to an extensive collection of faceted gemstones, including the largest topaz crystal to be found in the United States. A glowing mineral room shows glow-in-the-dark rocks under UV light. Additional special exhibits rotate three times yearly.
