The Permian Basin Petroleum Museum is a jewel! Very interesting and informative. However I, as a Fire Protection Engineer, was pretty disappointed that there is no mention of fire protection or fire safety, namely Red Adair, the famous oil well firefighter. The potential for fires is significant, and it would be beneficial for patrons to learn about fire protection measures used to mitigate the occurance of fires and the heroes that risk their lives, like Red Adair.

Good Family entertainment and education. I have not been to this museum in 26 years and my what a difference a quarter of a century makes. I worked for 15 years in the Oil & Gas Industry back in the 80’s and 90’s and I even learned about innovative technologies and discoveries. My wife is Vietnamese, and she found the place to be remarkably interesting. They added the legendary Jim Hall Chaparral Racing exhibit for any Race Car enthusiast and who would have known that all those cars they have from 1959 to 1990 era still run and drive today. You even get to sit in one. This is at least 3 hours well spent, though I will suggest you do it in the morning. The outside exhibit gets toasty in the hotter months. Nice restroom facilities and there is plenty of free parking. It is a must see if you are in the area for any time. Rate it five stars for the quality. $12.00 a ticket was well worth it.

Thank you so much for your thorough review and your visit to the Museum! We love to hear about visitors that come back after so many years and are surprised by the wonderful and informative exhibits in the Museum. Thanks for including a note about our outside Oil Patch exhibits. They are a must-see, but you are correct about the afternoon heat in warm months.

The Permian Basin Petroleum Museum in Midland Texas is very interesting and has a very good broad display from how oil is created to how the oil boom started and developed into today’s industry.
The exhibits were well displayed and as Texas is well known for producing petroleum this museum had a huge selection of information on all aspects of the industry from a rock collection from around the world, the early equipment used to extract the oil, right through to the history of why fuel prices increased over the years. There are some interesting larger exhibits outside and it takes about two or more hours to appreciate the whole museum.
One thing to skip are the two movies zones, both are total rubbish propaganda movies by the current oil companies and totally full of misinformation on current trends in the oil industry.
But overall a great well-presented museum and worth visiting.

There was a lot to see in this museum! We learned a lot about the Petroleum industry
Two separate galleries on unique & valuable crystal/minerals and art/oil paintings.
Lastly, an entire race car section on the Chaparral Cars 1963-1970 (Formula One Racers) * Indy 500
Be sure to go into the space ship that is a simulator type ride when in car section.
Allow at least 2 hours & note there are several small theaters for educational purposes

Nice place to tour and very educational. Relatively easy to get to off I-20 westbound.
Plenty of outdoor free parking, and clean inside the facility.

A fantastic way to spend hours learning about the history and future of the Permian Basin. Many arenas within the facility detail the contributions of those who created an oil-based empire. Best of all this museum were the staff & their enthusiasm of not only the museum but also the exhibits. Plan to spend hours exploring the inside exhibits and outside parks. The interactive video rooms were most appreciated!

Oil and gas are essential to everyone’s daily life, regardless of whatever they live. This museum tells the petroleum industry story and how it part of more than we expect. Terrific indoor exhibits, touchscreens and a movie. Outdoor exhibits are even more fabulous. They give you the full scale look into drilling equipment. Definitely a place for the whole family.

Texas is famous for producing petroleum, this wonderful museum provide vast knowledge of all aspect of the petroleum industry.
It attract me the most is the wonderful rock collection from around the world.
Being a rock hound, I lingered in this hall the longest time while we’re there. Most of the species was grand and gorgeous! Made me on drooling.
I only wish the gift shop’s rock sold there is not only aimed at novice rock collectors also aimed at serious rock collectors.

When people tell me there is nothing to do in Midland, they are wrong. There are a bunch of oil drilling rigs and fields near the city including seeing more of them around the Permian Basin Petroleum Museum. I came about 30 mins before they closed and didn't have time to explore the exhibits that are inside the building. Instead, I rented a car and did my own exploring by driving and taking photos around the front and back of the museum. You will notice that there are different types of machineries used to drill oil from past and period times.

Was too expensive it should have been under $10 to visit. I didn't enjoy the propaganda aspect touting the future with petroleum and never mentioning climate change and global warming.
The history was fabulous as were the mineral exhibits and art. I missed the outdoor exhibit sadly , I didn't see any signage about it inside of the museum. Spent about an hour here

Is there parking for RV's? What hours are you open? Days closed?
Escrita el 11 de diciembre de 2017
The parking lot is huge!!!! Depending on the size of the RV, I would call the front office and ask them about parking restrictions. Parking is in two different locations and I know that a Class C or Class B would be easily maneuvered....however, the Class A might be a bit trickier! Good Luck!

How much time should one plan on spending at the museum?
Escrita el 10 de diciembre de 2017
I am certain you have probably already made your trip. I think it is easy to spend 3 hours there. There are a lot of interactive activities on the Kid Zone size and a lot of things to see.

There is no designated parking for large vehicles like motor homes, 18-wheelers, etc. but "generally" there is plenty of space available in either of the two parking lots.

The museum is not free on Sundays. Also it has reduced hours on Sundays from 2 to 5PM.
