We Are Advancing Research Through Education

For 90 years, the museums within the College of Arts & Sciences have served as a true point of pride for the University of New Mexico.  Not only are they an educational resource to our community and communities throughout the world, these museums serve as homes to collections that are rarely seen on other university campuses. Students who take advantage of the research opportunities available at our museums are uniquely positioned to apply their knowledge to a wide range of career prospects once they graduate.
