Museum of International Folk Art
Museum Hill · Santa Fe, New Mexico
The Museum of International Folk Art on Museum Hill is home to the world's largest collection of international folk art - more than 135,000 objects from more than 100 countries - presented in a museum that has been one of New Mexico's premier cultural institutions since 1953. The museum's extraordinary breadth encompasses religious art, toys, textiles, ceramics, and carved figures from every inhabited continent, celebrating the creativity of ordinary people across cultures and across time. The Girard Wing's permanent installation - thousands of folk art objects arranged in panoramic dioramas - is one of the most visually overwhelming and delightfully strange museum experiences in the American Southwest, utterly unlike anything else in the region.
