DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE

Welcome to the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum.  On our web site you will be introduced to the tremendous holdings of this great museum.  Enjoy your online tour and plan to visit us soon where you will discover one of the premier museums of the nation. 

You will find the heart of Texas art, the free spirit of the Taos and Santa Fe schools, and the unsurpassed Southwest American Indian art.  Unlock the hidden world of the ancient past through our paleontology, geology and archeology areas while learning about the rich history of the region and seeing some of the finest examples of American fashion in the Textiles Gallery.

Our exhibits are changing constantly, and there is always something new to see.  Be sure to bookmark our calendar of events and sign up for our email notifications to receive updates about programs and events.  Be a part of it all and join us today!

From dinosaurs to modern art, from saddles to automobiles, we have it all, and I hope you come to see us soon.
