Reveling in its striking new digs, known locally as "The Castle," this museum (turquoisemuseum.com) spotlights New Mexico's signature rock. You'll find more than 400 pieces of turquoise jewelry displayed in the Southwest Gallery, with other exhibits covering mining, shopping, science and more.

The Turquoise Museum galleries are currently closed while they move to a new location in 2028.
