Museum of Fine Arts

Located on the plaza in Santa Fe, the Museum of Fine Arts was founded in 1917 as the Art Gallery of the Museum of New Mexico. It is housed in a spectacular Pueblo Revival building designed by I. H. and William M. Rapp, it was based on their New Mexico building at the Panama-California Exposition (1915). The museum's architecture inaugurated what has come to be known as "Santa Fe style." The building combines aspects of several Southwestern regional styles including elements of the facades of the Spanish mission churches of Acoma, Laguna and San Felipe Pueblos.

For more than 85 years the Museum has collected and exhibited work by leading artists from New Mexico and elsewhere. This tradition continues today with a wide array of exhibitions of work from the world's leading artists.
