Outstanding collection of American native jewelry. Don’t miss it if you’re an admirer of the craft.

The Wheelwright is a smaller museum located on museum hill in Santa Fe. Well worth the time... read more

I had long heard of this museum so wanted to visit. Only half the museum was open. I was able to use an NARM museum pass so my entry was "free"; not sure if the regular fee would have been worth it.

My wife and I were happy to spend the day at the Museum. The presentation is spectacular, the setting is a wonder. The setting has a unique presentation of a restaurant with very tasty cuisine.

This is one of the most special museums in Santa Fe. The jewelry collection is a must see and don't forget to visit the Case Trading Post downstairs - you will surely find a treasure you cannot live with out. The staff and docents are always friendly and very knowledgeable.

This museum offers an in-depth view of New Mexican native culture and history. It also features several temporary galleries and a gift shop with primarily native-made art. Compared to other native history museums, the content is above average.
