Permian Basin Petroleum Museum
The Permian Basin Petroleum Museum is one of the most comprehensive energy museums in the country, tracing the full arc of the oil industry that transformed West Texas from open rangeland into one of the most productive energy regions on the planet. Exhibits include a full-scale reproduction of an offshore drilling platform, an extensive collection of antique drilling equipment, and a geology gallery that explains exactly why the Permian Basin holds so much oil. The museum is a frequent destination for school field trips, corporate group tours, and industry visitors arriving through MAF.
Bus drop-off is accessible from the I-20 frontage road. Confirm current group visit logistics directly with the museum before your visit.
