Our Museum Expert Says:

Take in both contemporary and traditional art at the oldest art museum in New Mexico!

The collections at the Museum of Fine Arts are rich with variety and offer visitors a spicy taste of the Santa Fe style.

Founded in 1917 as the Art Gallery of the Museum of New Mexico, the Museum of Fine Arts is housed in a spectacular Pueblo Revival building designed by I. H. and William M. Rapp. Today, the Museum of Fine Arts' contains more than 23,000 pieces of art. The collection emphasizes work produced in or related to New Mexico, and focuses on photography and works on paper, paintings, sculpture, and furniture from the 20th century, and contemporary art. Popular works by Ansel Adams and Georgia O'Keefe among others may be found here. The building itself combines aspects of several Southwestern regional styles including elements of the facades of the Spanish mission churches of Acoma, Laguna and the San Felipe Pueblos.

Art walking tours of Santa Fe offered year-round (weather permitting), and guided by docents, highlight the art and architectural history of downtown Santa Fe. The museum is located at 107 West Palace Avenue Santa Fe, so come and enjoy the best of local art and culture by spending a day at New Mexico's Museum of Fine Art.
