Three exhibitions on view are worthwhile and different. This museum has taken on more contemporary art exhibitions which make for a rewarding experience. Even as a collector of pueblo pottery, this museum is a worthwhile visit with a nice gift shop.

I live close by and so get to visit this lovely museum on a regular basis, but no visit to Santa Fe should exclude a trip to see what exhibits are being offered.

There were some great works of art by Georgia O'Keeffe. But I have to say I was a little disappointed. Then I ventured upstairs, and was exposed to a new art form: I... More

Only the downstairs galleries were open for several good temporary exhibitions. In a historic building, well worth a visit even now. The inner courtyard is pleasant, quiet.
