1. Petroliana Oil and Gas Memorabilia Exhibit
   The oil and gas industry has been an important part of American history, having fueled the country’s industrial expansion. One of the most visible aspects of the industry has been the memorabilia such as gas pumps, oil cans and signs which have dotted the American landscape since the beginning of the twentieth century.  The Farmington Museum has an extensive collection of these cultural artifacts on display. This exhibit will be open through 2019. 
    
2. World War I: Lessons and Legacies
   To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I, the Farmington Museum is featuring this exhibit in the lobby.  The exhibition explores the impact and influence the war had on American life through panels from the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, posters from the Library of Congress and artifacts from the museum’s collection. Exhibit on display now to March 30, 2019.

4. Beatles vs Stones
   Two of the greatest bands of all time will be facing off in a high-energy, adrenaline-pumping musical showdown at the Farmington Civic Center, on January 12, 2019! The British Invasion brought us the two most popular rock groups of all time, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, as well as the liveliest debate in rock history - which band is the greatest?
