This week on Roswell Brew Talks, we are brewing Technology, Art and Innovation. 

We all know the incredible Mimms Museum of Technology and Art, but this space is way more than just a museum - it’s an interactive, living journey through innovation, community, and creative history.

It was an absolute pleasure to sit down with the Founders, Lonnie and Karen Mimms, to dive into the fascinating backstory of how it all began—from sourcing iconic computers and rare tech artifacts, to their incredible iNspire: 50 Years of Apple exhibit, and everything this unique space has to offer.
