Albuquerque Museum, Art museum in Old Town, Albuquerque, United States.
The Albuquerque Museum is an art museum in Old Town that houses more than ten thousand works of art along with extensive collections of historical objects and photographs. The building documents four centuries of history in the Southwest through its holdings.
The museum was founded in 1967 and grew into a leading cultural institution for the region. Since then it has systematically collected evidence from several centuries to preserve regional heritage.
The museum displays works and objects that reflect the identity of the region, from crafts to everyday items from the past. The Casa San Ysidro on the grounds shows how people lived during the colonial period and what handcraft techniques they used.
The building is located near the plaza and is easily accessible on foot from the rest of Old Town. Visitors will also find a school for art classes on-site where they can participate during their visit.
The museum has an attached school section where visitors can take art classes while surrounded by millions of historical objects and photographs. This opportunity connects learning directly with the collection in an unusual way.
