Koshare Museum

Open Wednesday thru Friday

A tour of the Koshare Museum  provides visitors with the opportunity to view a significant and noteworthy collection featuring Native American artifacts and Southwestern Art.

A World-Class Museum in a Small Town

If this is your first time to the museum, you are in for a treat. This is a museum unlike any other museum found in your typical small town.

The museum is home to the world’s largest self-supported log ceiling, but there is more to museum than just its architecture.  Visitors are often blown away by the Native American and Western collection within the museum. 

The collection features original art from the founding artists of the Taos and Santa Fe Art Colonies. Native American artifacts from the people of the Southwest, the Plains, and Anasazi.  The museum contains large collections from Enesto Zepeda, Joseph Imhof, and Velino Herrera.

With the purchase of a show ticket, your admission to the museum is included.
