Museum of the Southwest combines art, local history and science on a campus in Midland.
The historic Turner Mansion forms part of the institution alongside galleries, a planetarium and a children’s museum. The photograph shows the actual former Fred and Juliette Turner home within the museum grounds.
Check current admission, opening days and show schedules before visiting. A campus ticket covers several facilities, but planetarium programs and special events may follow their own timetable. Use the operator’s current K Street entrance directions and allow time to move between buildings. Group field trips require advance arrangements, and access to individual exhibitions can change.
