Natural History

The Centennial Museum has gradually refined its mission over its now seventy years of life; it is the oldest museum in El Paso and as such was initially El Paso's attic! The vision now is to provide lively displays about the Chihuahuan Desert as habitat and about the animals and peoples that have lived in it, the challenges they face, and the fascination of this, the largest desert in North America. Temporary special exhibits explore a wide range of issues about border life and culture, and about life in the Americas.

History

The El Paso City Museums derive originally from the International Museum, a one-time private institution, which was located in the old Turney home at 1201 Montana. The collections were eclectic, containing items of natural history and world culture, as well as some art and local history.

In the late 1950s, an arrangement was made with the Kress Foundation for a "permanent" loan of medieval and renaissance art. At that time, the building and the collections were turned over to the City, in return for City staffing and maintenance.
