We visit this museum every time we are in Santa Fe. There is always something new to discover. The new “Here, Now and Always” exhibition is outstanding. It’s not to be missed.

Excellent permanent exhibit on clay. The contemporary native art is super cool and the exhibits include lots of contextual and historical information. Loved the video explaining the techniques used to make the turkey feather blanket!

One of the best ways to spend a morning and 12 dollars! Extensive collection of a wide array of featured cultures with very insightful history behind each. Definitely worth a visit and a walk around the grounds if you're in the area (don't forget to check out the downstairs Treasure Chest too!).
