Announcements

Our museum is evolving!

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.

New Bradbury Stamm Construction Hall of Ancient Life Now Open!

 

 

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.
