History

The El Paso City Museums derive originally from the International Museum, a one-time private institution, which was located in the old Turney home at 1201 Montana. The collections were eclectic, containing items of natural history and world culture, as well as some art and local history.

In the late 1950s, an arrangement was made with the Kress Foundation for a "permanent" loan of medieval and renaissance art. At that time, the building and the collections were turned over to the City, in return for City staffing and maintenance.
