This is a terrific museum … one of the Best I’ve Seen!! The exhibits are really well-done, with incredible art pieces like pottery, baskets, kachina dolls, rugs … truly amazing. Their events are must-sees! The Indian Fair & Market, Hoop Dancing and Spanish Market are great fun. My daughter loves the museum, especially the hands-on activities and grinding corn. The cafe has yummy food and the shop can’t be beat for great jewelry and other Indian artwork as well as tons and tons of books.
