This should definitely be high on your list of places to visit while in Roswell. The Goddard exhibit is very interesting, their Native American collection is packed, the Apollo Mission/moon exhibit is small but informative and their art collection is engaging. Would be five stars but (with the exception of the volunteer? in the gift shop) the staff is not welcoming at all...
A delightful surprise. A wide variety of styles and media, enjoyable by anyone. Well worth a visit.
Very worthwhile. We spent an hour there admiring Peter Hurd's art and viewing a movie about Robert Godard, one of the inventors of rocketry.
If you enjoy throwing pottery, then you have to enroll in this program. People drive from all over NM to attend these classes and use this facility
This Museum offers displays of historical objects, fine art exhibitions and art related classes. I would expect the average visitor to spend between 45min to 2 hours in the museum. It has a nice gift shop with Native American jewelry, books and local art. The museum's art collection focuses on modern and contemporary artists mostly from the Southwest. It also has a unique collection of objects from Robert H. Goddard a rocket pioneer and Rodgers Aston collection of the American West. The museum was founded in 1937 and was a WPA works project to serve as a cultural hub for the region. Important to note that the Roswell museum and art center was founded 10 years before the now famous "incident" but doesn't have displays related to that event. The museum has had many additions over the years including a impressive ceramics studio, planetarium, auditorium and court yard with outdoor sculptures and a rocket tower!
