Starting August 4, the museum is embarking on its first major facility renovation in decades, including a redesigned entrance, box office, and gift shop, refreshed exhibition spaces, and infrastructure improvements.
As a result, the museum will be closed for around seven months beginning in August. More details on the project, and what it means for visitors, is available HERE.
The Museum is pleased to welcome a new exhibition, Extant Erosions, that blends science and art through a series of works created by Albuquerque-based artist Emma Ressel.
Extant Erosions is comprised of still life photographs of specimens in museum collections and a reworked collection of 100-year-old glass lantern slides housed in the geology department at UNM.This exhibition is on view on the Museum's 2nd floor through Monday, June 16. Click HERE for more info.
The Museum’s highly anticipated new exhibition hall, the Bradbury Stamm Construction Hall of Ancient Life, is now open! With around 300 fossils from across New Mexico, the Bradbury Stamm Construction Hall of Ancient Life completes the Museum’s exploration of prehistoric life and tells the story of 300 million years of evolution in what’s now New Mexico.
Learn about ancient sharks that swam the shallow seas that once covered New Mexico, follow tracks made by the largest arthropod to have ever lived on Earth, and view New Mexico’s oldest known fossil: a trilobite that lived around 500 million years ago. This exhibition will be on view on the Museum’s second floor.
During this week of camps, we’ll explore the volcanoes on Earth and in outer space on planets like Mars and Venus.
Our annual event celebrating the first American Woman in space, Dr. Sally Ride, will feature an appearance from Special Guest Melinda Snodgrass!
