Albuquerque Museum, Art museum in Old Town, Albuquerque, United States.

The Albuquerque Museum is an art and history museum in Old Town, Albuquerque, New Mexico, holding paintings, sculptures, historical objects, and photographs related to the region. The collection covers four centuries of life in the Southwest, from the Spanish colonial period to the twentieth century.

The museum opened in 1967 as a city institution dedicated to collecting and displaying the art and history of the Southwest. Over the following decades, its collection grew steadily as donations and acquisitions brought in objects spanning from the Spanish colonial era to the modern period.

The museum displays paintings, sculptures, and everyday objects that show how life in New Mexico has changed over the centuries. Works by artists from the region sit alongside historical photographs, giving a sense of how the Southwest has been seen and imagined by its own people.

The museum stands in Old Town, a short walk from the plaza, and the city's mobile app offers a guide to the outdoor sculpture garden on the grounds. The building, designed by Antoine Predock, opened in 1979 and was expanded in 2005. The museum also runs tours of Casa San Ysidro, an 18th-century house in Corrales.

The museum's photo archive holds 130,000 photographs, alongside 10,000 artworks and 35,000 historical objects. In the sculpture garden stands La Jornada, a sculpture removed from public view in 2020 and later restored to the garden; the City of Albuquerque offers a mobile app guide to the garden.
