Museum of Fine Arts

The Museum was founded in 1917 as the Art Gallery of the Museum of New Mexico. 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 eighty-five years the Museum has collected and exhibited work by artists from New Mexico and elsewhere.
