Interesting variety of folk art from around the world

The museum has an excellent collection of folk art from around the world. The exhibits were very interesting. Some I enjoyed more than others. I thought the collection of retablos from Peru were facinating. The museum is definitely worth a visit.

Best Museum in New Mexico, fun for all

This museum is always a treat. The traveling shows are typically spectacular. One can spend hours here and still be sad to leave when the time comes. It is great for kids and people that might say, "museums are boring."

The kids won't object to going to this museum

See the temporary exhibitions first and leave the permanent collections for last, that way when you return to the museum at another time, what you missed will still be there. This is a large museum, with a lot of facinating art from around the world....More

Amazing!

This museum appeals to adults and kids alike. My 10 year old grandson did not want to leave! We had lunch at the restaurant right there on site. It was a great way to spend the morning!
