Exhibits

The Petroleum Museum is more than a museum about oil and gas. We are a science and technology museum, an art museum, a history museum, and so much more.

From children exploring what powers their world in the child-size Energy City to researchers studying the history of the Permian Basin in the Library and Archives Center, the Museum offers learning opportunities for every age. Travel back in time to “Boomtown,” delve into the science that is at the heart of the petroleum industry, race into the ingenuity of the world-famous Chaparral racecars, and experience the cultural history of the Permian Basin captured in the paintings of award-winning artist Tom Lovell.
