The Albuquerque Museum, also known as the ABQ Museum, sits at 2000 Mountain Road NW in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It is a museum devoted to the art, history and culture of Albuquerque and the wider Southwest, and it makes a natural stop for anyone wanting to understand the region before exploring it further.
What you will find
The museum presents both historical and contemporary material, so a visit can move from the older stories of the city to work made by artists today. Its collection covers art, history and culture together, which gives the galleries a broad view rather than a single theme.
- Historical exhibits that trace the development of Albuquerque and the Southwest
- Contemporary exhibits that show how regional artists and ideas continue to change
- Art and cultural material that connects the city's identity with its wider landscape and communities
