There were a couple of temporary exhibits that focused on architecture, notably current architects with Pueblo roots incorporating traditional designs into modern architecture. The permanent exhibits focused on the traditions, history, culture, and art of the Pueblo villages. Fascinating. There was also a native dance demonstration the day we visited."

You can easily spend an entire day reading the educational plaques, enjoying the local art, watching the presentation, eating lunch and browsing the gift shop. Everything was so well done. It’s a great place to visit if you are wanting to learn more about the Puebloan tribes. You can either purchase your tickets online or at the entrance."

The museum has a rotating exhibit area that hi-lited several modern Pueblan artists, a fantastic exhibit on Pueblan architecture, and an expansive permanent exhibit on the history and culture of the Pueblan peoples. We also enjoyed the numerous small niches with videos, stories, and dialect demonstrations. We left with a much better understanding of the 19 Pueblo communities in New Mexico. We ended up spending almost five hours here, including about 2 1/2 hours in the exhibits, an hour at the dance/ ceremony, another hour at the restaurant, and a half hour perusing the gift shop and vendors. We arrived before 10 am and found plenty of parking in the lot behind the Center. Admission is very reasonable. The staff and volunteers were courteous and welcoming. We recommend eating lunch at the restaurant connected to the Center. The restaurant has a separate entrance for the public, but you can also access the restaurant from the museum."
