Just recently reopened! Pictures dont do it justice. What an energizing museum. The art is so colorful and the space and furnishings are a work of art. I could sit all day and enjoy the beautiful rooms!

A good place to get away from the norm. A quiet place to look at things from a different perspective. A eclectic variation of art

Awesome collection of beautiful art and free to the public.. with helpful and friendly staff.

What a beautiful variety of art. Finally an art museum I truly enjoyed every aspect of.

Some of my favorites attached. I learned that the Roswell Artists in Residency (RAiR) Program has been going on for over 50 years, where a few artists (and their families) each year get a home, studio, and “generous” stipend to just focus on their art with no distractions. The result is this amazing 12-gallery contemporary art museum, which remains completely FREE to all. Going through Roswell? This is an excellent pit stop.

Absolutely fantastic art museum. Great variety of artists with amazing skill. Love the work of Anderson. His paintings alone make it worth the see. The curators were very welcoming and informative. 100% will come back next time Im in town.

Its fantastic to see a legitimate Art Museum that not only gets involved with the local community, but helps support artists all over the world. Its fairly unsuspecting, but very nice, very organized and clean. In my opinion its a must visit for everyone and if you have children, take them! One of the best ways to express yourself as a youngster is through art. Awesome job Anderson Art Museum!!

You’ve been to many great MOMAs of the US, Europe and Australia. Amazingly good art. Then you visit The Anderson Museum of Contemporary Art and wow!Would get “another” star if they had plaques next to all the art pieces and artists bios.

If you enjoy modern art, this is a place for you! Wonderful staff. Nicely, well-kept building. Gorgeous art. And is surprisingly free. Depending on how attentive you are, visiting may take between 1 to 3 hours or longer. A first class location conveniently located in Roswell, NM. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

A great museum. Check out the sharks.

Beautiful art work on display. We took our three kids and they had a great time.

Its a beautiful museum, and I love playing concerts here!

Amazing museum to see on your trip to Roswell! And totally free!

The museum had a great collection of art from a variety of different artists. The pieces were displayed brilliantly, well lit and in proper coordination. Entrance is free, feel free to make a donation to a great cause.

This is an amazing museum in Roswell and worth a visit. I took my time (2 hours) as the collection seems endless! Lots of variety too. I’m a fan of Denver’s Blucifer out at the airport so this museum was a treat with so much work by Luis Jimenez. The staff was friendly and explained the story of the museum in a very engaging way. If you like art, this is a must see!

My family and I were on a little touristy road trip, and decided to stop here to take a look. They have some pretty nice displays. My favorites were the sharks made of golf bags and other materials, as well as a couple of awesome sculptures. There were also a lot of nice paintings of various styles and mediums. If you love all types of art, and youre in the area, I would recommend a stop here to check it out.

World-class contemporary museum full of unique art in all different mediums. Worth the drive from all locations in NM or west TX. Definitely a must see in Roswell and a must stop for cross-country travelers.

I really loved this art museum. So many interesting pieces of art and no fee to get in!

Absolute amazing quality. This is MOMA level quality artwork in an unexpected place (to me). I am so happy I went there and experienced it on so many levels. If you can make the trip, GO!

Really great place. Beautiful works. Staff is very knowledgeable and helpful.

The placement of the pieces, what the art meant to me and the information given by the ladies up front.

Good enough to charge but its free. (You can leave a donation though)

Took my granddaughters to Roswell for a weekend get away they are 10&6 and they really enjoyed this museum! Wish we could have stayed for the piano concert but then we would have missed the planetarium! Hopefully next time there will be another one we can attend!

Amazing works of art! Talented people brought together since 1967 to present. A must see museum.

Something for everybody. Clean, well lit, inviting, and not too crowded. Its a joy to come here, my 3rd visit

Favorite place in the city. Unlike any other collection of art. The staff and volunteers are the best and answer any questions and even give you the history. Need more places like this in town

Fantastic art and friendly staff. Great place to visit

Very awesome amazing art

Cool art drawn in Roswell

Great art museum! We just stopped by on our way thru Roswell and glad we did.

The art work here takes my breath away the creative pieces and textures to each canvas was amazing

They really should charge admission for this museum. The place has so many good pieces of art. I make a point of stopping by every time I am in town. Shame its in Roswell where the people dont really appreciate it.

Amazing! Dont miss this gem. I was raised in Roswell. How did I not know about this museum. Home for a visit. Glad I saw this while driving around town revisiting old memories.

The art here was fun to look at, and Mr. Andersons (the founder) art is some of the best Ive seen.

Absolutely enjoyed this visit on our family vacation to New Mexico. We made this stop for my ART loving soul. It was filled with many breath taking pieces of work from student residences of an art institute that they offer in Roswell NM. If your an art lover or just have an appreciation for amazing pieces of work. I encourage you to go and check it out and learn more about what they have to offer the budding artist.

Really enjoyed this place. Its one of those hidden gems. Dont miss it!

A delightful gallery of contemporary art.

Incredible art work and a delightful surprise. Be prepared to spend some time because you will be captivated!

Very interesting place! Lots of interesting art in a well organized and spacious facility. We could not believe it was FREE! Easy hour just to skim through all that is offered. Could easily spend more time and enjoy. Staff was awesome in giving us the low down on what was offered and how they are able to do it!

A really excellent fun museum. Its relatively large and is stuffed with art. Even in the restrooms. No blank walls here. Best of all, it has all kinds of art and sculpture. From doodles to classic oil paintings and everything in between. Keeps your interest. They apparently have an active artist in residence program. Which displays prominently in the displayed works. Love it!

If you like art and interesting things, you are most likely going to have a wonderful experience at the Anderson museum! Very friendly employees and a great atmosphere ! They also give tours of the facility, and have different events here. It is a very fine place.

Surprisingly wonderful collection of art. Great example of the macabre whimsy I found throughout museums in the state. Would definitely visit again if I was in the area.

Surprising little spot. I needed to kill about an hour and I dont think Ive been more please to have stumbled onto something in the middle of Roswell, NM.

Amazing knowledgeable staff... Beautiful artwork

Lots of funky, fun, interesting, unusual and/or fabulous art.

What a gem of an art museum in Roswell. I was very impressed from the moment we walked in the door. The collection of art is truly impressive. I would think that museums in much larger cities would love to be able to offer this collection. This is a must see in Roswell.We spent well over an hour at the Anderson Museum. They do not charge admission but do accept donations.

Wonderful art.They let my dog in on a leash.I truly enjoyed this place.

A great collection.

Very enjoyable. We will be going back in the future. Varied types of art were fun to look at.

I’ve seen many museums and this one blew me away. Every detail is thought out through the museum.

Very nice local museum with many paintings and sculptures, some in modern and some traditional styles. Many paintings with beautiful mountain landscapes. They have a great Bosendorfer concert grand piano in the gallery, good acoustics and sometimes present concerts. Very nice staff!

Nice place to visit, some of the Art that is viewed at this museum is amazing to view. Personally I enjoyed the abstract that I viewed there.Some local Artists provide the museum with art works and the museum pays for them to have studio apartments. So please support your local artists in Roswell and enjoy the exhibits.

So much more than expected

This place has some of the most fun contemporary art Ive seen. It also has many innovative, and serious pieces. The craftsmanship on some of the work is phenomenal! If you love contemporary art, this place will wow you. Its a huge collection that doesnt feel overcrowded. Just amazing!

So very cool! Love that they have live music here! I want to be rich & start one of these in all my favorite towns -- seriously amazing! You should stop by!

Been living in Roswell for a while now and just recently attended The Anderson Museum of Contemporary Art and immediately fell in love with the place. Friendly staff and amazing pieces of art. Admission is free, although donations are welcomed.

One of my favorite things about Roswell! This museum is tastefully designed around displayed art created by the talented artists who have been awarded the gift of time to live and work in studios provided by the Roswell Artist in Residence Foundation (RAIR) for over 50 years. This museum is treasure.

Not really an art person. Pleasantly surprised by a number of the pieces and different mediums used. Enjoyed this stop.

Smaller museum, packed with art from the last 50 years. The building is newer, theyve laid it all out with obvious competence and confidence. No entry fee. The wide range of contemporary art was enjoyable and thought provoking.

Huge museum, filled with great art paintings and pieces.Great place to visit in Roswell.

Positive people, a personal introduction and art with soul. An absolute pleasure.

Great museum showcasing resident artists. Also a good venue for events

All different kinds of art something for everybody! I cant believe this museum is free! I would absolutely come here again if Im coming through the area.

Great art museum. Plus it is free.

Nice and serene atmosphere!

I loved wandering the Halls of residents past and present. Such an ecclectic collection of a variety of media. Admission is free, and youre allowed to roam freely

Looked at a painting and it made me disassociate. Turns out mercury was in retrograde at the time

Definitely worth seeing when youre in the area

A small museum with a diverse and interesting collection of contemporary art. Entry was free and donations are accepted. Its definitely worth checking out if youre in the area.

What a great place. Sunday afternoon and we had the place to ourselves! Except for the volunteer. Very interesting and thought provoking.

Has something for every one and really polite staff

What a gem! What a great concept. We need more places like this in the US.

I took my family to Roswell to see Alien stuff, and looked up other things to do as well. This museum was the only good thing in Roswell. The art is Awesome and never ending, so much to see and for free. Definitely recommend visiting!

Well worth the stop for quality and intriguing modern art. One who appreciates it, could spend a good bit of time and still not take it all in.

Love it here. Visit often.

One of my favorite places. Large variety of art, mostly done by local artists. They even have an Artist in Residency program! Admittance is free.

Super cool. Way bigger inside than you would ever think

Awesome space. Some of the work is hit or miss... But thats the same at every museum.

Very nice place to visit while in Roswell. It hosts pieces by former Roswell artists in residence. It also houses many pieces by the founder. Admission is free so visit while youre there!

It almost doesnt look like anything from the outside, but, it is amazing on the inside!! I do not claim ownership of anything in the photos.

Amazing collection. The staff is friendly and not intrusive. Wonderful place!

A terrific surprise of an art museum for such a small town. We loved the art and spent two hours admiring it.

An amazing, utterly unique collection. Totally worth the visit.

An amazing collection of modern art in a rural setting. Thank you, RAIR.

Visited as a venue of the Roswell Jazz Festival. It contains a large array of high quality contemporary art in vsrious mediums.

Definitely a must see eclectic art museum. Be sure to give yourself plenty of time as the museum is huge.

Best art ever

Good way to spend an hour or so. Wouldnt bring kids under 5 unless in a stroller - lots of things that are no touching.

Well kept location with beautiful modern art. Well worth the time to visit.

Wide selection of artists displayed in a comfortable and spacious gallery

I have nice experience. first time that I have contact with art

Great museum. The Louis Jemez exhibit is great

Amazing contemporary art by local artists. The staff is friendly and helpful.

It’s a phenomenal place. Do me a favor, if you have choose one museum to visit in Roswell, pick this one instead of the alien one.

This is the museum of the Roswell Artist-in-Residence Program. A very densely displayed collection of artworks amassed over the 40+ years of the residencys existence from the hundreds of national & international artists who have taken part in the program. I see something new every time I go there.

Modern Art with many pieces from the artist in residence program. You can get up close to the artwork

This is a great museum with hundreds of excellent pieces, and its free! Definitely worth a visit.

Awesome place to visit. Very interesting and a lot to see.

What an incredible jewel for Roswell! Dont miss this!

This was an interesting little place. It must hold events every so often because there was a piano concert being held there.
