Carlsbad Museum
E
stablished in 1931, the Carlsbad Museum & Art Center is the oldest municipal museum in New Mexico. It is home to a remarkable collection of Native American and historical artifacts, an important collection of New Mexican art and Glenna Goodacre sculptures, the Carlsbad Hall of Fame, and a changing gallery that brings an exciting variety of exhibits to town every summer and winter.
In the Native American collection you will find excellent examples of stone tools and pottery from early Mogollon, Anasazi, Mesa Verde and the historic period. However, the museum is perhaps best known for
its exceptional art collection, rich in the work of 20th century New Mexican artists including the founders of the Taos Society of Artists, plus a growing body of art by notable contemporar y NM artists. The Carlsbad Hall of Fame, our newest gallery, will surprise as you discover Carlsbad’s connection to the Congressional Medal of Honor, Shakespeare, Big Bird, and more! Come visit the Museum. Admission is always free and we have the town’s b e s t l i tt l e b o o k s t o r e where you can also find, local art, and souvenirs to take home! There is something for everyone at the CMAC!
