International UFO Museum and Research Center, 114 N. Main St., +1 575 625-9495, . Devoted to the local cult activity; you can decide for yourself whether it's serious or not. Daily 9-5. Formerly free, but recently instituted a small but controversial admission fee ($5, students $2).
Roswell Museum and Art Center, Civic Center Plaza (corner of 11th and Main), +1 575 624-6744. This one is definitely serious, incorporating a surprisingly good art collection for a small town, with works by Georgia O'Keeffe and Peter Hurd, among others. There is a wing devoted to space flight and rocket science (but not UFOs!) that includes the Robert H. Goddard Planetarium, named in honor of the rocketry pioneer who did much of his research in Roswell. M-Sa 9-5, Su 1-5, closed major holidays. Free.
