City of Las Cruces Museum System

The Las Cruces Museums are the Museum of Nature & Science, the historic Railroad Museum, the Museum of Art, and the Branigan Cultural Center. The museums are a part of the Quality of Life department for the City of Las Cruces. The Quality of Life Department is the home of the City’s Branigan Library, Museums, Senior Programs, Public Art, and Volunteer Network – all of which contribute, through the tireless efforts of our staff and volunteers, to a better standard of living in our community.

The Las Cruces Museum System aims to provide a welcoming environment for the curious so they can gain new insights and experience personal and community enrichment. The museums showcase exhibitions on local, national, and global themes to educate and inspire visitors from near and far. Admission is FREE.
