Description: A non-profit museum foundation aiming to contribute to advances in scientific research and to a better understanding of the evolution of life on planet earth. Through Geology, Biology, Mineralogy and Gemology. Founded by Dr. Adolf Peretti. Based in Meggen, Switzerland.
The Peretti Museum Foundation is currently undergoing registration under Swiss law. Until this process is complete,
GRS Gemresearch Swisslab AG will be the host organization for all gemological samples and will run its legal affairs.
The Museum actively supports research and knowledge and provides a framework for expert collaboration and public access to valuable and extremely rare specimens for study and publication in academic (peer-reviewed) literature and other outlets. More than 2,000 specimens are housed and cataloged by the Museum, and this collection continues to grow with the support of loyal patrons and the international gemological community.
