Maxwell Museum of Anthropology

A very accessible and didactic museum with a large and beautiful collection of Mimbres pottery and in-depth explanation of the archeological process. Count a couple of hours, and a bit more for the temporary exhibits. Worth it. Parking sounds scary but is actually simple as the museum attendant provides you with a pass on arrival.

The Maxwell Museum of Anthropology is a hidden gem in the city of Albuquerque! It is located in the heart of the University of New Mexico and is a pure delight for anyone with an interest in archeology, evolution, or the history of the Southwest. The recommended donation is only $5, and the place is more than worth the cost.

Amazing museum. I highly recommend taking your kids there.

Now this is a wonderful experience for young and old. I love history and this was full of information and exhibits for all to enjoy. Great art and photos everywhere you turn. A really great way to show your children and all who attend our lovely Southwest area.

Amazing exhibits. A must if you're interested in archaeology!
