Millicent Rogers Museum, Native American art museum in Taos, United States.
Millicent Rogers Museum is an art museum in Taos that focuses on Southwestern crafts and artistic traditions. It displays fourteen galleries featuring Native American jewelry, pottery, weavings, baskets, and Hispanic folk art from the region.
The museum was established after Millicent Rogers relocated to Taos and assembled an important collection of Southwestern objects. Her interest in acquiring regional crafts and art led to the formation of this institution dedicated to preserving those traditions.
The collection features works by Maria Martinez, a renowned potter from San Ildefonso Pueblo, whose black-fired pottery became internationally recognized. Her pieces show how pueblo communities maintained and developed their ceramic traditions across generations.
The museum is located in El Prado, just north of Taos, and is easily accessible by car. The galleries are organized in a way that allows visitors to move through the spaces at their own pace.
The Santos collection features religious wood carvings and paintings that date back to the 1700s and were created in New Mexico and Southern Colorado. These works offer insight into the spiritual art tradition that was honored in the churches and homes of the region.
