You’ve got to take the “International” in the museum’s name seriously: I expected it would encompass Spanish, Native American and possibly a bit of Anglo cultures’ folk art (i.e. the three main strands of New Mexico’s state culture. But no, they also had Ghanaian, Japanese, Chinese, German and numerous other cultures around the wold represented. A special exhibit of “fantasy coffins” from Ghana was the surprise hit of our three-hour visit: colorful, imaginative, and joyous. The main permanent exhibit hall has thousands of pieces in an airplane hangar-like room. The overall impact is overwhelming and hard to take in. And, they DO have Spanish and Native American folk pieces. Definitely worth a visit!

It is mind blowing to see this museum! Go see the Fantasy coffins, woodworking masterpieces! Way too much to see in one day but so worth it!

The museum is unique. There are a lot of art things from many countries in the world. The main hall shows interesting exhibitions. You can find your country's tradition culture. It's amazing.

A large and interesting museum. The self-guided tour is easy to do with the brochure. We enjoyed seeing the needlework samplers (so intricate), the doll houses and the children's toys especially.

I came by here mostly interested in seeing the exhibit of fantasy coffins from Ghana. This is something I had never heard of before and I was intrigued. My only complaint about this show was that I wanted to see more.I cannot say the same for the other the temporary exhibition generously called truths be told. This was a terrible selection of contemporary left-wing political art that was neither esthetically interesting nor very original. It's not folk art, either. Just a bunch of talentless activists complaining about various causes they have little personal knowledge of. I'm sorry, but if I want to see protest art I would go to a rally instead of a museum. There's plenty of other places in Santa Fe to see this kind of bad art.
