Update

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

The mineral museum is in the process of moving to the historic Pima County Courthouse building. Upon reopening in fall 2020 it will be known as the Alfie Norville Gem and Mineral Museum.

I work at the Flandrau Science Center and Planetarium, which has housed the mineral museum since 1993. I was asked to update this article.

Since the museum is no longer on the University of Arizona campus, this information should replace the first sentence of this article.

Even though this involves WP:FUTURE claims, I'm prepared to add that they are in the process of moving to the other location. I just need a reference which verifies that. Please advise. When ready to proceed with the reference, kindly change the {{request edit}} template's answer parameter to read from |ans=yes to |ans=no. Thank you!

Done Thank you for supplying the needed reference. Regards, Spintendo 12:53, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I am just updating again to say that the new mineral museum is fully open (as of a few months ago now): opening announcement.

I don't believe I still have a conflict of interest (While Flandrau and the mineral museum are both under the University of Arizona umbrella, we are now completely separate entities), and I am suggesting this update on my own rather than on behalf of anyone else. But just to be safe I am following the COI procedure. --Lasunncty (talk) 22:26, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Marked Resolved All of this had already been taken care of, but in the interim, the move appears to have been completed, so I tidied up the page to reflect that. PianoDan (talk) 22:59, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
