This exhibit was very interesting. It showed the living arrangements and the products they use. Also, showed the Native American's arts and crafts. The best part was the Native American Dance demonstration. More

If you are in Albuquerque, do not miss visiting the cultural center. Get a tour, attend the dances. They are excellent. If you want an amazing history of Native people and culture in the NM area, the center will give it to you. Staff are courteous and friendly and welcoming. More

It is amazing to see what was here before the Europeans even set foot on this continent. The indigenous people were far more civilized then they were and the artitry that they made was of the earth. More

I visited the Cultural Center during my trip to Albuquerque. It was well worthwhile. Entry fee was $6.00. It was easy to drive to. It took between 45 minutes to an hour to go through the museum. It was very informative and interesting. The cafe in the museum had excellent food and very reasonably priced. The gift shop was great!... More

The Museum part of the center is OK. It's very small, only take an hour to see it all. There are some activities in it for kids as well. The singing and dancing was very enjoyable, with all the dancers dressed in traditional festival attire. Also there are many small native american craftsworkers there selling goods that they make.

Visited during the spring dances, which provided good explanation & demo of the dances. The new exhibit about Puebloan interactions with Europeans starkly shows mistakes of the past. More
