Millicent Rogers Museum, Taos

Definitely worth a look. She had quite a collection, and must have been a very interesting person to know. Nice lady at the front desk was very knowledgeable about the museum, and directed us to several inverting exhibits we might have otherwise missed. Love the extremely handsome, young man in the gift shop. He really knew his stuff and has a great, and rare mind. I was tickled by our exchange.

This museum is fantastic, it’s so attractive, educational and beautifully layout, you can spend hours admiring the gorgeous collection. The staff is so helpful and I think they were mostly volunteers but I admire the commitment to do a great job. If you are in Taos are is a must see.

We toured most of the galleries in this museum that features historic and contemporary SouthWest US and Indigenous art. Very well organized, described, and displayed. They require masks and have air purifiers in most of the galleries (over a dozen). Interesting history of the life of Ms. Rogers as she was a wealthy person who treasured art of the region. Modest admission price of $10. Recommended for those interested in SW and Native American art. The museum is about a 15 minute drive from downtown Taos in a desert setting. Free parking near the entry. Group tours available.

Great treasure of art and history of artisans of the past. A great way to understand the different influences of each of the Pueblos, and the Spanish influences in the Indian art. See 3000 year old artisan pottery with a wonderful style that was passed down through the generations.

This was a magnificent legacy in fabric, silver, turquoise and other materials that were part of Ms. Rogers’ collection. Not to be missed!
