One of the most beautiful and interesting places in Taos. The house, from the late 1800s/early 1900s, sprawls around its plot every which way, making it fun to roam around, and features lovely furnishings and artwork from several decades (we have a framed print of one of the paintings in our family room). The house is about two blocks from the Old Town square on a street of galleries. Part of what you should come to Taos to see.

Thoroughly enjoyed this visit. Cross between a house tour and art gallery as it represents house an artist and his family lived. Not so heavy on the history, but enough to get a sense - and these were improtant early figures in the Taos art scene. The house itself (which 'grew' organically as owners purchased adjacent 'rooms') feels wonderfully liveable - at least I would be perfectly at home there, even today. You're pretty muchon your own to wander through, but the desk person will engage and answer questions. Expansive gift shop if you wish to part with serious money. (Most expensive magnet I've ever bought - foolish) Well worth a stop. Same street as the rather less engaging Harwood.

This is more about the lives and talents of this family than a standard art museum. There is art and this is the place to come to understand and glimpse what a phenomenal and multi talented group of people the Taos artists were and what the New Mexico environment was like at the time-wish I could have been there!
Museum staff friendly and informative, gift shop.

While the art is great, I found myself more intrigued by the carvings and the house itself. He was a master craftsman.

I was just walking around town and I happened upon this place. The family were all artists and they developed their house by buying the neighbors's places and connecting the homes, so it is quite a large adobe house with many of their original furnishings and, of course, their art.

We didn't expect this house/museum to be quite as impressive. We thoroughly enjoyed going through the rooms and seeing furniture, appliances and art from the early 20th century. The docent was incredible!! We didn't get her name but she was so enthusiastic and knowledgable that we think she should be paid!! Wonderful visit! Another example of the Taos Society of Artists.

This is the home and museum of Ernest & Mary Greene Blumenschein, one of the founders of the Taos Art movement. The tour guide had some great stories of this lovely couple who traveled extensively with their tennis playing daughter in the US and Europe. The home is filled with period furniture and their art along with family photos.

I enjoyed seeing how one of the original Taos artist lived by touring his home. There was a special exhibit to see other early Taos artists paintings in the home. Mrs. Blumenschien's paintings and her painted furniture can also be viewed in the house. The lady at the entrance was so nice and has lived in Taos all her life. It doesn't take long to tour and the Harwood is right next door. Narrow street and parking can be tricky.

An interesting home and story of how the home came together through the acquisition of pieces and parts and how the Blumenscheins would remodel and try to make it fit into the rambling structure they called home.
I felt a little like I was browsing an estate sale but nothing was on sale.
