The Branigan Cultural Center has as its focus the history and culture of the region around Las Cruces. Built during the Great Depression to serve as the City’s main library, this building was rededicated as a city cultural facility in 1981.

The Branigan Cultural Center is comprised of several small galleries and the larger Shannon Room, which is a temporary exhibition gallery and performance hall. Permanent and changing exhibitions and educational programming provide insight into the region’s interesting past and lively present.

Open Hours are Monday-Friday 10-4 and Saturday 9-1.
