The Fersman Mineralogical Museum of the Russian Academy of Sciences is a museum in Moscow dedicated to minerals and mineralogy. It welcomes visitors from Wednesday to Sunday and offers guided tours by advance reservation. The museum provides information about admission, tours, and other visitor services, while its on-site kiosk sells mineral specimens and stone souvenirs during opening hours.

Alongside public visits, the museum supports scientific research and shares knowledge through its collections, publications, and staff activities. Its public programs include lectures and workshops, as well as participation in museum festivals and educational events. In 2026, marking 310 years since its founding, the museum plans to host a scientific conference in Moscow from September 28 to October 2.

The museum is located on Leninsky Prospekt in Moscow and can be reached by public transport. Visitors can contact the museum for general information and kiosk enquiries, or call separately to arrange a guided tour. The museum also notes that mineral, rock, and meteorite identification cannot be reliably provided remotely from photographs.
