Poeh Museum

The Poeh Museum in Pojoaque is an art museum that displays traditional and contemporary works by indigenous artists, including pottery, textiles, sculptures, and jewelry. The building houses studios where artists work and demonstrate traditional techniques to visitors.

The museum was established in 1988 by the Pojoaque Pueblo as a place to preserve and present regional artworks. Its current building opened in 2003, allowing for larger galleries and better facilities to showcase the collections.

The museum displays artworks by regional artists and tells stories through visual presentations and spoken accounts from community members. These works and narratives reflect how indigenous people from this area express their identity and traditions through art.

The museum sits near U.S. Highway 84, making it easy to locate and access. Visitors can watch artists at work in the studios and see how traditional crafts are created.

The museum maintains partnerships with major institutions and receives loans of rare pieces for exhibition, strengthening its role in artistic exchange. These collaborations allow visitors to see works that would otherwise remain unavailable locally.
