For the intermediate level of this badge I went to the Ohio Caverns. Not exactly a museum, but they had a wonderful display!
Here's what you see in the caverns:

To start my collection I went mining!
(eating some black cherry rock candy to get in the spirit!)
Now I need to identify my bounty for the next level.
