Hispanic Arts in New Mexico

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Museums

Opened in 1989, the Hispanic Heritage Wing at the Museum of International Folk Art was the first permanent, dedicated space for the exhibition of Hispanic Arts in the State of New Mexico. Walking through the massive hand-carved doors that mark the main entrance to the wing, visitors may observe the strong continuity that characterizes Hispanic art tradition in New Mexico. Specially commissioned for the wing, the doors are based on those that grace the entry of Chimayo's famous, Santuario de Nuestra SeƱor de Esquipulas, dating to 1816.
