The Museum of Indian Arts & Culture in Santa Fe, New Mexico, tells the story of the Native American people of the Southwest from pre-historic through contemporary times. The museum's changing exhibitions draw from an unparalleled collection of Native American art and material culture, representing the Pueblo, Navajo, Apache, and other indigenous cultures of the Southwest.
At the Museum of Indian Arts & Culture, visitors encounter Native cultures and artifacts of the Southwest in premier exhibits drawing from more than 70,000 works of art and material culture.
Begin your tour at the museum with the Here, Now & Always exhibit. This collection took eight years to put together and comes from the hard work and dedication of native elders, leaders, and scholars. The exhibit Native Couture: A History of Santa Fe Style, will dazzle you with jewelry that spans over 100 years of jewelry making Santa Fe tradition, as well as chic clothing and other fashions from the period. These are just two of the many exhibits at the museum showcasing the beauty and artistic culture of the Native way of life.
