Museum of Mineralogy This museum in Tehuacan was opened to the public on July 31, 1998 and represents a scientist's dream come true. Its creator, a man of great erudition, winner of the Carnegie Medal awarded by the Smithsonian Institution in Washington and also the discoverer of the two Mexican minerals Malpimita and Ojuelaita. For much of his time he worked at opening the doors of knowledge and awareness to the raw material that surrounds us: shapes and minerals.  The Museum of Mineralogy in Tehuacan was erected at the initiative of Don Miguel Romero, a prestigious Mexican scientist. Romero devoted much of his life to gathering a collection of nearly ten thousand samples of minerals in different shapes, textures and various colors, which now provides us with an interesting overview of the geological history of the crust of soil Poblanos. On the other hand he is also a legend in Tehuacan because of his joy and the fact that he kept with tradition of his people. Communities are always concerned about keeping alive the ancient customs of their ancestors, thus Don Miguel Romero formed real cultural roots that his people can identify with.
