This is a gem of a museum, just the way I like it. Most of the collection is Mimbres pottery which is amazing in design and construction. The best objects are displayed well on the main floor and a separate room has shelves loaded with pots and bowls. There are a few examples of other types of pottery but the main focus is Mimbres which was found in the area. As Native pottery goes, this is a unique style well worth seeing. The main display is well labeled, not crowded, and easy to view. There is no admission fee but donations are welcome. There are a few gifts but this is not a commercial operation. You can see everything in an hour or even less. When I was there there was only 1-2 other visitors. Masks were required and the pleasant attendant took temperatures and asked some questions. Outstanding in my view.

The museum is pretty much limited to the pottery collection, but that is extensive and wonderful. I appreciated that the attendant was informed and able to answer questions. Also liked that all levels of skill were on display, not just the best. Informative placards throughout.

Best collection of numbers pottery. Beautifully displayed and labeled. A hidden treasure.

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.
