2026 is going to be a great year! GCM is kicking things off with exciting changes designed to make the museum more accessible and welcoming for everyone. Thanks to the generous support of the Brindle Foundation, we’re expanding our hours and opening our doors on Thursdays from 11:00am–5:00pm. These added hours mean more opportunities for families, students, educators, and visitors to engage in their curiosity, culture, and community through play—and we couldn’t be more grateful for the support that makes it possible.

We are open today! We hope to see your warm, smiling face on this cold, wintery day.

A huge thank you to The Encantado Foundation for your generous support and partnership in our 12-week internship program at the Gallup Children's Museum. We are also grateful to the Octavia Fellin Public Library for collaborating with us on this impactful initiative.

Through this program, we were able to expand STEM opportunities for high school students by engaging them in hands-on exhibit building and design. Our two talented interns successfully built an Augmented Reality Sandbox and an Archimedes Screw Ball Lift—exciting new interactive features for our museum space!

We truly appreciate your commitment to youth education, creativity, and STEM learning in our community.
