The Imperial Valley Desert Museum is located in the heart of a foreboding and arid landscape. This renovated visitor center offers a respite for travelers and a destination for the local community to gather, learn and engage with each other and their surroundings.
Exhibits in the Land of Extremes gallery explore the intersection of human culture, science, and survival in this challenging environment. The museum’s visible collections and interactive experiences illuminate the area's contemporary issues, history, and the natural world.
