Families are invited to the Maxwell on Saturday October 26, 10 am to noon for a Family Day exploring early writing. Join us for a fun morning of activities learning about archaeology and the discovery of the world’s first writing systems. Visit our cuneiform exhibition to see 4000 year old texts, then learn about the origin of writing all over the world!
Collect stamps at each station and earn a goodie bag to take home! Enjoy free refreshments while supplies last.

PARKING
Where can I park if I am a visitor?
We have free reserved parking spots immediately to the west of our Museum; next to those are pay-for-parking spots. Moreover, north of the Maxwell and past "Lot C" is another pay-for-parking area that is only a two-minute walk to reach us. Lastly, any vehicle with a valid state-issued handicap placard can park anywhere on the UNM campus, except in spaces labeled as fire lanes, reserved, and no loading zones.
Where can I park if I work at or attend UNM?
If you are staff, faculty, or students with a non-expired UNM parking permit of any category, you can park close to the Museum in "Lot C" (north of the museum), or elsewhere, after 3:45 PM and not be fined as long as your permit is showing.
