Its aim is to promote the protection and promotion of the geological wealth of Greece and the role it played in the history and formation of the ancient world, the modern and contemporary history of Hellenism, promoting its historical and scientific value worldwide.

The Museum, through its collections, is addressed to both the general and specialised scientific public, with the presentation of important geological specimens of Greece (minerals, fossils, rocks, etc.), while at the same time it is a source of knowledge and research of the country's geological wealth.

In its halls, the long development of geological research, the promotion of geological wealth and geological cultural heritage is presented, while its collections from Greece are among the richest in the world, making it the "Treasury" of geology in Greece.
