I really enjoyed the Site museum, very interesting..The exhibit was one of several locations with this exhibit.. The biding and grounds were engaging and nice, professional staff. I would go back

We attended a CHATTER event that blew me away and then toured the museum. SO HAPPY we found this place! The CHATTER event was a violin-piano duo and slam poetry reading. Reading about this ahead of time, I had the impression it was a casual, free thing right at the Railyard. Not true. We wandered around looking for it and eventually found it at SITE Santa Fe, and it was not free or casual. It was IIRC $20 per ticket... or $10? Anyway, it had a very polished, professional vibe to it, other than the poet showing up late, which left a certain impression, but then she did her reading and was SO AMAZING! I'm so glad we attended this, and it was kind of a fluke that I stumbled on it when researching our trip. We would have walked away after CHATTER, but a lady on the street told us we had to see the art exhibit. So we wandered back in and enjoyed the modern art exhibits. An hour is probably enough for the art museum. More time is needed if you're attending a CHATTER event.

We visited this museum on a Friday, and it was free of charge (small box for donations)Big space with lots of room to roam. Interesting exposition of local artists.

The art was cutting-edge -- but, for the two exhibits I saw on 8 July '21 at least, also surprisingly accessible to people who haven't seen much contemporary art. I got another nice surprise when I asked the guard about writing in one of the paintings that looked like Italian to me... she explained that it tied this painting to the next, told me the history of the Italian artist in the next painting and compared the artist's style with Caravaggio. I asked her about another painting and got a similar wealth of info. We ended up talking about languages, how she had studied ancient Greek in college and how ambiguous translations can be, etc. The great art was enough, but she made it much more interesting and meaningful.

This was the first place I wound up in Santa Fe basically because I got lost entering the city and was early to check in to my B&B. It was a Friday and it was free. It was very quiet probably because of the snow that had recently arrived in town. However the exhibitions were informative and a lot of fun. The opera exhibit has a terrific activity requiring you to place a plastic gold coin into a slot to enjoy a light and music show; the last step is for you to throw an artificial rose onto the stage.
