  • I really enjoyed this Museum. You get to find out just how fascinating the Chihuahuan Desert is. Great exhibits to be seen. It is worth taking the time to visit it.

  • My girls and I loved the current exhibits on migrants, border history related to migration , and civil engineering. It was our first visit but we are planning to visit again! I love that our city offers free cultural options like this. They also have designated parking right in front of the museum, you just have to go inside the office for a pass. We also enjoyed a peaceful walk around the Chihuahuan Desert Gardens and then headed to the UTEP library for a quick visit. The exhibits were very educational and visually pleasing. The museum is also very clean (restrooms too). Please visit and try to donate if you are able to!
  • If you haven't visited this gem or even if you have it's worth a visit. I love meandering through the gardens outside. They are so well tended and thought out. They plants and trees are marked with their names. The inside is just as interesting and they usually have a different exhibition the 1st floor. The rest of the exhibits deal with El Paso's wonderful history. You gotta go.
