Story

The Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian offers unique exhibitions of contemporary and historic Native American art. We’re famous for our focus on little-known genres, and for solo shows by living Native American artists. We originate every exhibition, bringing you new research, fresh perspectives, and a richness of visual expression you won’t see anywhere else.

Our museum shop, the Case Trading Post, features the best in contemporary craft and fine arts by more than 200 Native American artists, as well as a great selection of vintage and antique jewelry, ceramics, and textiles. The Case Trading Post is Santa Fe's oldest continuously operating gallery of Native American art.

The Wheelwright is open seven days a week. The general admission fee is $8.00. Admission fees apply to adult tour groups. Admission to the museum will be free to the public the first Sunday of every month. Admission is free for museum members, Native Americans, children under the age of 12, students with a valid student id, and active military.

Celebrating over 75 years as New Mexico’s oldest, independent, non-profit museum!

Reviews
I highly recommend stopping by here. It's not really big, so if you don't have a lot of time to sight see it is a great spot. Beautiful old and new Native American apparel, jewelry, and art are on display. The trading post/gift shop downstairs is cute and has a good selection of jewelry, rugs, and books for sale. My toddler enjoyed it, but he's quiet and curious. I don't recommend it for young children in general. There are no displays geared toward kids. I think regular admission is $14.00 per person. We got in free because we're Native, but fellow New Mexicans enter at half price. Free admission every first Sunday of each month.

Extremely interesting. Docents were very infomative and knowledgeable. Many exhibits of local and area native people.
