University Museum


Kent Hall

 
The University Museum serves as a center of object-based learning and a resource for New Mexico State University students, faculty, staff, and the Las Cruces community to explore human experiences—past, present and future. We preserve collections from the Southwest and around the world, develop original exhibitions, conduct research, and use the museum space and collections in teaching and as training for future museum professionals. 

 The University Museum is closed for Spring Break. We will reopen Monday the 20th. Have a safe break!
