Buddy Holly Center
- Museum
- Regional draw
- Lubbock
Buddy Holly Center explores the life and musical legacy of Lubbock's pioneering rock-and-roll musician alongside the broader creative life of West Texas.

Its setting in a former railway depot adds another layer of local history. Music-related objects and exhibitions make it a focused cultural stop in the Depot District.
Check current admission, exhibitions, and event arrangements before visiting. Allow time to read the biographical material and explore any changing gallery displays. Use the center's own directions on Crickets Avenue, since this museum is a different destination from the Buddy Holly Hall performing-arts venue.
