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. 

Our exhibits are currently under construction. We expect to reopen in January 2025. For inquiries and to schedule visitation, please email museum@nmsu.edu
