Community > Community Organisations

The Mission of the Maturango Museum is to preserve, interpret, and develop an appreciation for the natural and cultural history of the Northern Mojave Desert through research and education in the natural and physical sciences, and to promote the arts.

Founded in 1962, the museum is an important educational and cultural resource in Ridgecrest California. The museum has grown from its humble origin in a Quonset hut on the China Lake Navy base into its current modern facility of 10,000 square feet in Ridgecrest California. In addition to the exhibit galleries, which feature the natural and cultural history of the Northern Mojave Desert, as well as rotating art and photography exhibits, the museum sponsors many programs and tours, including tours to the world-famous Coso petroglyphs. The museum is an information center for Death Valley National Park, the Northern Mojave Desert, and the Highway 395 and 178 highway corridors.
