I like this museum, but check to see who is exhibiting before going. It might not be your thing. I go if I like the work that's showing. Otherwise, the Wheelright is a better option for Native Art.

This was one of my favorite contemporary art museums I’ve ever seen…of any type. While they focus on works of tribal peoples (and not just New Mexico), this is top notch contemporary art.
