Yes Moab Has a Museum

When I first informed my friends that I would be Director of the Museum of Moab the response was something along the lines of, "Moab has a Museum?" Unlike many larger towns and cities in Utah Moab boasts a small yet respectable Museum of Natural and Cultural History.
Built in 1958 the first Museum of Moab was a small one story building later growing to the current two story building and annex which was made possible by the funding of Dan O'Laurie
The Museum's Scope involve everything about Moab and the surrounding 150 mile Radius. Everything from early sea life to the 2002 Winter Olympic Torch has a place in the museum.
My Name is Travis Schenck I am the current Director of the Museum of Moab. I invite you to join me on my journey here at the Museum of Moab. As we explore the museum collections we'll also explore the history of Moab. I hope you'll enjoy the trip.
