About the Museum
Coming soon to Silver City!
The Southwest Regional Museum of Art is dedicated to establishing a prominent fine art destination in downtown Silver City. While its permanent facility is currently in development, the museum is actively acquiring a vast collection of American art from 1850 to the present.
The museum will be housed in the old post office building on Broadway, with renovations and future expansion plans currently in the works.
