The Museum of Indian Arts & Culture is operating on Winter Hours

Open Tuesday-Sunday, 10am-5pm, closed Mondays until May.

The Museum of Indian Arts & Culture is located on beautiful Museum Hill at 710 Camino Lejo off Old Santa Fe Trail in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Plan Your Visit

A visit to the Museum of Indian Arts & Culture is an excellent introduction to the complexity and diversity of the Native American cultures of the region. Here, you can listen to the stories and songs that tell of origins and the long history of the Native people of the Southwest, witness the development of new forms of art, or learn about the contemporary lives and lifeways of the Southwest's indigenous populations.

Located in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, the museum shares its extraordinary location with the other museums of Museum HillTM, the Museum of Spanish Colonial Art, the Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian, and the Museum of International Folk Art. We hope you will have an opportunity to visit the museum and experience the beauty and balance of the cultures of the Southwest in this spectacular setting three miles from downtown Santa Fe.
