Clemson Geology Museum temporarily closed

The winter weather has damaged Clemson University’s Bob Campbell Geology Museum forcing a temporary closing. The Clemson University Media Relations Department reports that temperatures in the low teens caused a water pipe in the ceiling of the museum to burst damaging exhibits and more. The museum, which is free and open to the public, is the only museum in the state dedicated to geology and paleontology. It is visited by some 25,000 people per year, and relies largely on donations for its revenue. The Bob Campbell Geology Museum is located on the grounds of the South Carolina Botanical Garden.
