The Fernbank Science Center/museum in Atlanta, GA has a large collection of Georgia Tektites. I have not been there in years, though, so if you plant to vist you may want to call ahead to make sure they still have the collection.

Hi Phil,

The Smithsonian Natural HIstory Museum has a pretty good display. Here

And there's a smidgen of tektites in the upper right corner of this
display in Hastings, Nebraska:

Hello everyone,
I was wondering where some of the better tektite collections are
located and how much is on display. I'm mostly interested in the US
but feel free to include others. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Phil
