Be sure to visit this often by...

Be sure to visit this often bypassed attraction. There is a surprisingly high quality permanent collection representing many well known 20th Century artists who have worked in New Mexico. Frequently changing gallery exhibits are entertaining, insightful and current. Friday evenings are free and usually have a unique element of fun!

DETAILS
General Info
When the New Mexico Museum of Art opened in 1917 it was the first building in the state dedicated to art. Its galleries, reception areas and St. Francis auditorium were made by the people of New Mexico for the promotion of the state's rich culture to visitors and locals alike The architects Isaac Hamilton and William Morris Rapp designed the building as an enlarged and modified version of the building they made for the 1915 Panama-California Exposition in San Diego. The style of the building, called Pueblo Revival, uses modern contruction materials made to look like the historic adobe churches found throughout the state's Pueblos. Throughout its century long history, the museum has grown and redefined itself to adapt to changes in art and museum practices.When the New Mexico Museum of Art opened in 1917 it was the first building in the state dedicated to art.
