Arts.

Cultural Heritage.

500 years, 4 continents

The Spanish Colonial Art Society’s Nuevo Mexicano Heritage Arts Museum houses an unrivaled collection, library, and archive of regional artworks - predominantly from New Mexico - including historic pieces from around the world for comparative purposes. Nearly half of the Museum’s collection is comprised of work by Spanish Market artists from the 1920s to the present. A percentage of pieces are from the period 1598-1821 with the remainder primarily from 19th-century New Mexico along with Spain and other areas to place them within a global context. It is located in the only John Gaw Meem-designed residential building open to the public in Santa Fe.

As a private museum we have the opportunity to question, challenge, and reimagine the museum model and the relevance of how it functions in the world today. Please join us. We look forward to seeing you!
