Art and culture

 If you know us, you should know we like historical sites and museums. So knowing that, explanation of the title should not be necessary.  We have been to Santa Fe several times prior, however we failed to visit of the many museums. Our bad. In order to correct our sinful ways, we headed out to museum hill. First stop was the Museum of Indian cultures, details HERE

 It is a museum well worth your time and effort, if such things appeal to you.



 Our visit got started with a unity dance. See if you recognize  any of the dancers.You can enlarge the video by clicking in bottom right corner.

 First stop was a sculpture garden.









  The galleries inside had wonderful displays of ancient art as well as modern, many mediums. The following is a feeble attempt at showing you some wonderful displays.

pieces dating from 936.





Not all pottery designs are same. This room show pottery from many different tribes/pueblos/bands of indigenous people.
    We started with a dance, might just as well end with one. Remember click bottom right corner of video to see full screen.

    
    A special celebration down on the square this weekend making traffic exponentially worse (ask how we know!). So change of plans takes us to Taos tomorrow.


carpe diem
