The Dr. Antonio "Tony" Gennaro Natural History Museum is temporarily closed due to rennovation of the Roosevelt Science Center.

The Dr. Antonio "Tony" Gennaro Natural History Museum is affiliated with the ENMU Department of Biology.  The purpose of the museum is to promote understanding of the diversity of life, emphasizing the natural heritage of eastern New Mexico and the greater Southwest.

The museum was renamed the Dr. Antonio "Tony" Gennaro Natural History Museum in spring 2016. Gennaro came to ENMU in 1966 as an associate professor of biological sciences and quickly established a reputation as a superb teacher and nationally recognized researcher. He started ENMU's vertebrate collection for the museum.

Thousands of visitors each year enjoy the educational displays and programs offered by the Dr. Antonio "Tony" Gennaro Natural History Museum. Of particular interest to visitors are the live (native and non-native) animals on display.
