El Paso Museum of History, History museum in Downtown Arts District, El Paso, United States.

The El Paso Museum of History is located in the Arts District and displays six galleries with objects, documents, and photographs covering the region from pre-Spanish contact to the present day. The collection includes over 10,000 pieces that trace different periods and themes of local history.

The institution was founded in 1974 as a cavalry museum and shifted its focus before becoming the El Paso Museum of History in 1980. This change allowed the museum to present a broader view of the region's stories.

The Wall of Giants is an annual project honouring a person, entity, location or event with lasting impact on El Paso; the honoree is chosen by a community group called the Circle of Giants. Past walls have honoured Don Haskins and Glory Road, Farah Manufacturing, the city's mayors, the Missions and Their People, the University of Texas at El Paso and Fort Bliss.

The museum is open every day from 10:00 to 18:00, so a visit fits into most itineraries without weekday planning. The building sits downtown in the Arts District, and its galleries are spread over two floors, with the Mexico and Spanish exploration displays on the ground floor and the upper floor given to private and corporate collectors and neighborhood photographs.

The touchscreen wall known as Digie opened on February 14, 2015, and is the second of its kind in the world after Copenhagen's and the first in the United States. It measures forty feet long by six feet high, built from five 95-inch LED touch screens, and was funded by a 2012 bond issue at a cost of around three million dollars. A smaller mobile companion wall travels to schools, malls and community centers.
