    Petroleum Museum - The entrance to the "ride" near the middle of the museum

    There is a lot to see at this museum. It could take 8 hrs to view all exhibits and games. This is a…read moregreat place for students who are in STEM programs. The mining pumps are amazing to see from the beginning of the era to the modern industrial era. I enjoyed learning about diatoms, the Permian Basin, shooters, and the difference between fracking and drilling. There are many classic race cars on display, and fun games to reinforce learning. I did not know that the U.S. produces the most oil in the world. I also did not know that Midland is the birthplace of petroleum and natural gas as well as the largest oil field in the U.S. The museum also has art on display. The restrooms are clean, the museum is bright and colorful, and staff are friendly. The museum is also kid friendly. Check it out!

    A much bigger museum than I was expecting when I put this on the list of places to stop for our…read morelatest road trip across Texas, but I'm very glad we went! Honestly, I do wish we could have spent more time here because there's so many different sections and the displays are beautiful and full of information that people of all ages will enjoy. While there's obviously a heavy lean to only discuss the pros of oil and gas and the extraction of these resources (and sometimes the propaganda is painfully obvious), the detailed information in the different sections still makes it highly educational and we were very impressed by how many interactive displays there were. If you have any kids with you (or you're a kid at heart) make sure to go on the "ride" near the middle of the museum where you get to pretend you're on a flying ship to steal resources from the ocean and other countries. It's wild but very entertaining to press the touch screens and experience their little story! Just don't focus too hard on how you're shooting a laser into the ground of an independent, populated country to "claim" resources lol The best part of the entire museum for us was actually the mineral exhibit. Absolutely breathtaking samples from across Texas and around the world, and as big rock nerds we would have willingly spent a whole half hour just walking through the gorgeous room and looking at all the displays. Don't miss it! There's also beautiful art in this area, and that hallway winds around to the exhibit on race cars, which was a very fun way to end our tour of the museum. I'd recommend at least 1.5 hours to see everything, but you could probably spend more time just having fun and enjoying the interactive displays! A great museum that captures the history of oil and gas that built up this area of Texas, and so much of Texas' economy in general. Worth a stop for sure!

    Cute museum / archives / library, has quite a bit of info on who was pres / 1st lady / vp and when…read more The bulk of what you see is either artwork of presidents or stuff that's been donated. The dolls dressed as First Ladies kind of freaked me out, but I loved the presidential bobble heads! The lady working their was a born and bread Texan, and very passionate about her job, explained a lot to us non Americans that I wasn't expecting - so made it much easier to give the suggested $5 donation at the end - especially because she wasn't pushy. Of all the painted portraits of more recent presidents, Clinton is the only one with his left hand in his pocket hiding his wedding ring. Pure co-incidence, I think not! I'd definitely recommend a quick stop if you're a non american in the area.

Here we have a museum and library for the Presidents in Odessa, Texas while we would like to see one in Washington D.C. The digital Museums reaches millions. They should contact us so we can include them in our virtual Museum, a Portal to the Presidency. I stopped by and visited them in Odessa years ago and they, like us, promote patriotism, love of country, military, police, veterans and our President, Donald J.
