WNMU Museum invites you to explore the prehistory and history of Southwest New Mexico and learn why people throughout the ages have selected this rich and enchanting region as their home.

The recently completed stunning transformation of Fleming Hall, funded by the 2016 Higher Education G.O. Bond, created an open, light, secure, and climate-controlled environment that highlights our National Register of Historic Places building, collections, and exhibitions enhancing the visitor experience.

The Museum is a work in progress. We continue to enhance the visitor experience by finishing exhibitions, creating interpretative signage, and opening additional rooms.

  • A very important collection of Mimbres pottery and artifacts from the NAN Ranch excavation. The historical restoration makes a nice small museum.
  • Though not a large collection such as one would find at the Museum in Deming, it is all presented with very good lighting and accessibility. Worth the visit if you are in Silver City. The young woman behind the desk was quite helpful.
