About Mayer Museum at Angelo State University

The Mayer Museum opened in May 2021 on the Angelo State University campus, in a 32,000-square-foot building funded mainly by Richard and B.J. Mayer. It has exhibits, public programs and children's activities, and admission is free. A $7.9 million expansion finished in early 2026 added a new event hall and a gallery for traveling and collaborative exhibits.

What's inside

Collections include dinosaurs and geology, the ASU West Texas Collection and an exhibit and archive honoring former Congressman K. Michael Conaway, along with traveling and collaborative exhibits.

The building also houses art classrooms and a student gallery.

New in 2026

The expansion added Mayer Hall, an event space with a covered patio, and a 2,400-square-foot gallery for traveling exhibitions.
