This Museum offers displays of historical objects, fine art exhibitions and art related classes. I would expect the average visitor to spend between 45min to 2 hours in the museum. It has a nice gift shop with Native American jewelry, books and local art. The museum's​ art collection focuses on modern and contemporary artists mostly from the Southwest. It also has a unique collection of objects from Robert H. Goddard a rocket pioneer and Rodgers Aston collection of the American West. The museum was founded in 1937 and was a WPA works project to serve as a cultural hub for the region. Important to note that the Roswell museum and art center was founded 10 years before the now famous "incident​" but doesn't have displays related to that event. The museum​ has had many additions over the years including a impressive ceramics studio, planetarium, auditorium and court yard with outdoor sculptures and a rocket tower!

Great museum, lots of different exhibits from history, natural history, and art of all types. They've got some great stuff in Robert Goddard!

Nice place. Interesting exhibit. But it looks abandoned from the outside. Also it's free.

Interesting exhibits, free admission. If you have time to spare and are in Roswell, you might stop here. But I do not recommend going out of your way to come.
