Guests who stay with us in Santa Fe are fully immersed in the Southwest culture. Museums are aplenty in Santa Fe, as people have been making art here for centuries. The Georgia O’Keeffe Museum contains a collection of immediately recognizable works, as well as rare, lesser-known gems that may give you a fuller picture of Georgia’s creative life. Additionally, a short road trip to O’Keeffe’s home and studio allows you to experience the iconic place where she created some of her acclaimed works, surrounded by centuries of history and breathtaking landscape. The IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts hosts a collection representative of the diverse art forms across Native North America. The Museum of Indian Arts and Culture tells stories of the Native American people from the very ancient to modern times. The Museum of International Folk Art always has something on view that will blow your mind. They have an installation of carved angel and devil figures from around the world, assembled in a glass case to create a heaven and hell scene that you can stare at for hours and still find something new. The New Mexico History Museum is a good place to start if you want to understand the depth of culture in Santa Fe. The Palace of the Governors is one of the most iconic locations in our city, and has the rare distinction of being a National Historic Treasure. You can find native artists lined up and down the portal outside selling only authentic and traditional wares, often not found anywhere else. Other museums within the city include the New Mexico Museum of Art, the Santa Fe Children’s MuseumSITE Santa Fe and the Wheelright Museum of the American Indian.

Theatrical entertainment is of no shortage in Santa Fe. There is cinema that can cater to every taste, from ridiculous popcorn flicks to high art. The aforementioned IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts is creating a modern Immersive Laboratory in the Digital Dome that will update and augment existing virtual reality facilities. The Jean Cocteau Cinema is where Santa Fe icon and medieval murder junkie George R.R. Martin holds court. This cinema serves as a shrine to geek culture—the only place in Santa Fe where you can see Back to the Future one week and Godzilla the next. The Cocteau often hosts events such as author talks with the likes of Neil Gaiman, William Gibson, and John Hodgman, and has its own bar. When you’re not watching a film or bumping into nerd royalty, you can browse its collection of books — all signed by the authors. The Lensic Performing Arts Center has been a part of Santa Fe since 1931 and offers film, music, plays and ballet within its walls. The Lensic also offers its facilities to local nonprofits, meaning it’s an important staple of the Santa Fe community. Teatro Paraguas is a theater that promotes performing art in both English and Spanish. Their bilingual presentations include the poetry and plays of Hispanic, Latinx and multicultural writers. Playwrights from New Mexico often take center stage at Teatro Paraguas, and the theater continues its celebrations of diversity through its children’s theater program. Loretto Line Tour Company is the most popular sightseeing company since 1992. The Loretto Line hires enthusiastic, professional guides to pilot open-air trams that give guests a one-of-a-kind vacation experience.

This small city is home to many strange and wild attractions that make it extra special to visit or live here. Here are a few of the standout places you can visit in between trips to the mountains. The Harrell House Bug Museum is a kid-friendly collection home to more than 2,400 specimens that range from insects, spiders and scorpions to a two-foot long whip spider and beetles that are larger than your face. As the bug museum grew, Harrell added a collection of more than 150 live animals, including reptiles, fish and arthropods. The exhibit is a huge draw for kids, who can explore it using flashlights and magnifying glasses. There’s also a hands-on element as kids can hold some harmless live bugs.
