Top Museums in New Mexico

Don't skip the little side rooms! Some of the most mind-blowing installations are tucked away, and I almost missed a few gems because I was following the crowd too much

If you can, try to arrive around 3 PM. The crowds thin out a bit, and you can soak in the art without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.

Definitely get your tickets online before you go—trust me, the lines can be long, and I've seen it save a good chunk of time. Also, look for promo codes; sometimes they pop up randomly!

Bring your camera, but also be prepared to put it down and enjoy the moment. You'll want to capture everything, but some experiences are best lived rather than filmed!

I think you should take your time in the outdoor areas too. The gardens and the view around the museum are just as stunning as the art inside.

my advice is to grab a map of the museum before you start. it helped me navigate through the galleries without missing any of the gems.

I suggest visiting right when they open at 10 AM. The crowds are smaller and you can really soak in the art without distractions.

My advice is to check out the gift shop after your visit. They’ve got some unique handmade items that are good quality but often overlooked by the busy crowd! Just beware of impulse buys – it’s easy to want everything!

I recommend going on a weekday if you can. The crowds are way lighter, and you can really appreciate the exhibits without feeling rushed. Plus, you might get that sweet parking spot right by the entrance.
