western new mexico university museum印象

The museum building is old and a relic itself. In the summer it may be uncomfortably warm, but the collection of Mimbres Culture artifacts and pots is the world's most complete and largest and is well displayed. It is worth visiting. The graphics are informative and there is usually someone around to answer questions.

This small university museum has possibly the finest collection of Mimbres pottery in the country, probably in the world. It is a must for every archaeologist wanna-be.

It was interesting to see the gorgeous Mimbres pottery and learn about the people who made it. The building was quite large and old. There is a "no photographs" policy in effect.

Made the Gila Cliffs exploration and this museum in the same day, making a complete cycle of viewing dwelling and then utensils. The collection of ancient Mimbres pottery is extensive showing all periods. There is a small collection of modern northern pueblo pots including samples by Maria Martinez. Not to be missed by fans of Native American pottery.

My husband loves visiting college campuses, so we wandered up to WNMU. It was quiet in early June, but welcoming. The museum is filled with artifacts and information about the Mimbres people as well as the history of the area. Housed in an 100-year-old building on the campus, even the building was interesting. The students working there were happy to answer questions and direct visitors to restrooms, drinking fountains, and the gift shop. I'd difinitely go again!

The extensive collection of Mimbres pottery is amazing. The Nan Ranch exhibit shows how important a role one person can play in revealing history. The lady docent who was working the day we visited was informative ,friendly and very knowledgable. Not a large museum put well worth an hour or two of your time.

if you love design, archeology, history and, of course, ceramics, this is a must see. Was overwhelmed by the beauty of the Mimbres pieces on display and the information provided was top notch. Very friendly staff, I assume they are students.

Located at the University in town. Very good displays with thorough explanations. Docent was a university student that wasn't able to answer any of our questions however.

The WNMU museum has a wonderful collection of Mimbres pottery which is absolutely stunning and unlike any pottery I have seen. There are many other exhibits of Southwestern topics as well.

The pottery is simply breathtaking. I've looked at pottery in SW museums for decades and have rarely seen this level of quality. The displays are amateurishly constructed and dirty with frequent misspellings. The prohibition against photography is completely assinine. When I asked why I couldn't take flash-free photographs I received an utterly nonsensical explanation. I'd like to see this world-class pottery placed in the hands of more professional and enlightened curators.
