We went to the Center while we were in town for the Balloon Fiesta and, as expected, found lots of activities going on there. The Museum was interesting but I felt it lacked some continuity. And the gift shop had lots of variety, but overall it fell short. We saw lots of dances from the different tribes and took pictures... more

On the first day of our 3 weeks trip, dedicated to vists of the Pueblos and other sites of the Native Americans, this Cultural Center offered the perfect introduction to the specificities of each of the 19 pueblos: each pueblo has a window-showcase where location, sights, architecture, arts and crafts of the pueblo are well presented. Amazing which differences exist... more

This museum offered a nice introduction to the local pueblo peoples. While curious about the local tribes, my mother and I felt it invasive to show up at a pueblo and gawk like tourists. This museum offered a lot of insights and information. The main museum is in the basement and is divided into two parts: a historic timeline of... more

Right before catching our flight out of ABQ, we visited the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center. We found the docents very informative and interesting. This is really the Pueblo Indian Tribes providing their point of view. They are willing to share some but not all of their culture. Maybe this is why an earlier review was a bit disappointed by the... more

We recently held a meeting at the IPCC and were pleasantly surprised! typically we work with 4-star hotels for our meetings but because it was a Tribal focused meeting we felt this would be an appropriate venue. It is a small but attractive museum with an full-service onsite restaurant and various areas of entertainment, including different rooms of museums, a... more

I hate to be the voice of dissent...because it seems like everyone else here really loves this museum. Maybe we missed something. When we went, it seemed as though the exhibits were very sparse and not particularly well maintained or even well lit. There were several sections that I had to leave sooner than I wished because I was overwhelmed... more

We visited the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center on our first day in ABQ. It gave us a good background for the rest of our vacation. The displays were interesting and informative. A group of Hopis did traditionally dance in the courtyard. We chatted with featured artisan from Laguna Pueblo. more

A visit to the IPCC gives you a good overview of the 19 Pueblos in the state of NM. Each Pueblo has created its own presentation in the museum, including information on their history, culture, geography, etc. They've struck a nice balance, not too much information & not too little. The museum is well set out and as you follow... more

We recently had a family reunion in Albuquerque and decided to try the Center for a small banquet dinner. It could not have been nicer! Since it's operated by all the Indian pueblos in N.M., there is a museum with exhibits about each of the pueblos. We saw an excellent art exhibit by contemporary Indian artists and they brought in... more

We visited the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center on our first day in Albuquerque. This turned out to be an excellent preparation for the remainder of our 10 day trip throughout the Southwest, as pueblo culture permeates this area. Having a basic understanding of the history and culture of the original inhabitants of the land increased the value of our trip... more
