Moab Museum

Located at 118 East Center Street, the Moab Museum offers a deep dive into the cultural and natural history of the region. This institution serves as a vital resource for understanding the area's rich heritage, spanning from ancient indigenous history to the more recent impacts of the mining boom. The museum’s collection is extensive, featuring artifacts that represent five distinct human cultures, including the Archaic, Ancestral Puebloan, Fremont, Ute, and Navajo peoples.

Visitors are drawn to the diverse exhibits, which range from paleontological findings to historical artifacts. The collection includes dinosaur bones and track impressions, offering a glimpse into the prehistoric era. Additionally, the museum showcases the region's more recent history through items such as mining instruments from the 1950s uranium boom. The geology displays are particularly notable, highlighting the local rock formations.

The museum is open to the public Tuesday through Saturday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM year-round, though hours may be shortened during the winter months. Admission is $10 for adults, with free entry for children seven and under, and a family rate of $30.
