this museum could use a make over - the display cases are old and a bit outdates - if they would charge they could finance something better and since it is free it is noisy and crowded just go see the pottery case.

The museum has great exhibits of the lives of those who lived on Mesa Verde, what they ate and how they grew or captured it, how they made pottery and the like. Plan to spend a couple of hours here. The video is shown every half hour and although the view can be obscured by the heads in front of you, it is worth the time. The large screen would best be elevated about 3 ft higher as we sat in the second row and the average sized women in front of us blocked our view and we had to peer around them.

25 minute movie is worth watching. Exhibets relatively interesting. Particularly the dioramas. Allowing 1 hour was plenty for us. Snack bar in the adjacent parking lot.

Among its displays is a pottery bowl and corn that was in it that is at least 700 years old. Some very interesting displays.

We arrived in time to view the excellent slide show and video a well worthwhile endeavor.the museum is well laid out and easy to follow. Excellent stories fill in the blanks about an amazing people. We will return and take more time next time.

This museum wasn't fancy, but provided a good overview video as well as many artifacts. The tour inside did not take long, but provided a way to put the cliff dwellings into an historical perspective. One could see the development of the civilizations, and see the use of improved technology to make life better for the people. Fascinating!

Ok, to be honest, I probably wouldn't have looked through everything if it hadn't been so hot outside. But it turned out to be a lot more interesting than you might think. It's easy to stick to our pre-conceived ideas of who these people were, but the artifacts - pottery from different periods, intricate baskets, weaving, weaponry etc - tell a different story, if we're willing to listen. Yes, some areas could use some sprucing up and filling in - I'm sure the NPS will get to that when they strike it rich. /sigh/I enjoyed the bookstore and giftshop, too. (I'd rather buy stuff here than send it to tax-dodging Amazon any day.)

Lots of knowledgeable information and artifacts on display. Great to add to all of the information you have see throughout the day. Good relaxing location after your climb back upGift area and restrooms and restaurant also

Exhibits were dated, but the dioramas were interesting. The movie was good too if only to get out of the heat for awhile.

Many artifacts and displays of past times. It is worth visiting to help put the history of the area into perspective.
