Desert Textures in New Mexico

A few random textures from the desert landscape of New Mexico.

Exploring Roswell, New Mexico

With street lights like alien heads and a McDonald's shaped like a UFO, there's no second guessing where you are once you pull into Roswell, New Mexico. It's all ideally kitschy, no place more so than the International UFO Museum - Roswell's top attraction.

International UFO Museum in Roswell, New Mexico

Kitschy, campy, and located right in the middle of downtown Roswell, New Mexcio, the International UFO Museum and Research Center is everything you could hope for in a town made iconic by an alleged alien crash landing in 1947. 

The International UFO Museum is located in the former Plains Theatre, a movie theatre which also fittingly opened in 1947. Showcasing newspapers, articles, images, a UFO library, and some brilliant low-budget alien pop culture to get your mind buzzing, the museum is (not surprisingly) a top attraction in Roswell. Whether you believe 'the truth is out there' or not, the International UFO Museum is certainly worth a visit in this alien-centric part of New Mexico.
