Very cute and organized museum just outside of Taos. Cheap price and a wealth of knowledge inside, You walk the museum yourself with a pamphlet that will highlight each room. Each room also has plaques on the wall and cases to tell you about the items in it. To me this one was so interesting because it was more than just artwork (which I know Taos is very famous for art but learning the culture about the Navajos and Hispanics was just fascinating).

Unique and strong experience of New Mexico traditional cultures, art, and artifacts in a home and gardens themselves historical and authentic.

A true Taos treasure! The rotating exhibits showcase local art, some for sale, alongside the permanent collection of Rogers' cutting-edge jewelry, pottery, textiles, and basketry supplemented by designs of her own. A wonderful Southwest setting complements the assemblage. The gift shop has absolutely no import imitations, but instead offers a variety of art, all locally sourced.

A wonderful look into the life and collections of Millicent. Incredible pieces of native beadwork and pottery. Loved Millicent's personal work as well, from her paintings to her jewelry designs. A well organized and truly enjoyable space to visit as well.
