Review:

Established in 1962, the Maturango Museum is dedicated to sharing the natural and cultural history of the diverse Mojave Desert. Visitors will be able to see displays of Native American artifacts, contemporary arts and crafts, the Joshua Tree Habitat, and exhibits of animals, plants, rocks, fossils, and minerals. One of its most popular aspects are the guided tours the museum offers of the Coso Rock Art District in the China Lake Naval Weapons Station. Plan your visit around one of the their many annual events such as the Wildflower Show, the Ridgecrest Desert Wildflower Festival, or the Sylvia Winslow Exhibit Gallery Show.
