Harwood Museum of Art

Founded in 1923, the Harwood Museum of Art (harwoodmuseum.org; adult/child $15/free) tells the story of New Mexico art through a dozen galleries. Attractively displayed in a gorgeous and very spacious mid-19th-century adobe compound, the paintings, drawings, prints, sculpture and photographs here are predominantly the work of northern New Mexican artists, both historical and contemporary. The Harwood is the second-oldest museum in New Mexico, and its 2000-piece permanent collection is as strong on local Hispanic traditions as it is on Taos’ 20th-century school.
