Wow, what a great museum out on the range. I was tempted to say "lithe" museum, but there is nothing little about this museum, its collection or the amount of art work on display. And it all comes wrapped in the story of Millicent Rogers, who if you're like us, you didn't know about. But it's all fascinating.

An amazing collection, from an interesting lady. I particularly loved the jewelry. Some of the woven blankets were very nice as well. A must see when visiting Taos.

Almost too much to take in in one visit. We OD'd on beautiful pottery and jewelry at this wonderful museum. You should not miss this on your trip to Taos.

Such an amazing collection of Maria Martinez pottery (from San Idelfonso Pueblo that is south of Taos & north of Santa Fe). Special collections are always fun to see. Great gift shop.

I had long wanted to visit this museum, and it was what predicated our stop in Taos on our way home (to Colorado) from Grand Canyon. The museum is located in a donor's old adobe, so the building itself is fantastic. Of course, the collection(s) do not disappoint. Loved the way things were presented and explained and curated.

If you are in Taos and have time, it is certainly worth a stop. A very glamorous woman, with a glamorous but too-short life, she had an amazing art and jewelry collection, which her estate very generously shares.

A new permanent exhibit at the museum shows how the famous black pottery from the San Ildefanso Pueblo is made. Very interesting and a good story of a long tradition.

Millicent Rogers had one of the most outstanding collections of Native American art and jewelry, and this museum shows it off extremely well. The pottery and jewelry collections are mind boggling.

One of the great collections of southwestern Indian and Hispanic artifacts, displayed in an imaginative adobe structure.

I was quite surprised by the extensive collections displayed in this museum. I had heard there were some wood carvings by an artist named Barela and I went specifically to see them and there were a couple of them displayed. Apparently there are more in storage, so perhaps another visit is in order. We combined our visit with a trip... More
