National Hispanic Cultural Center
Barelas · Albuquerque, New Mexico
The National Hispanic Cultural Center is one of the premier arts institutions in the United States, dedicated to the preservation and promotion of Hispanic culture, history, and art through an extraordinary complex of galleries, a world-class performing arts theater, a genealogy library, and extensive community programming. The center's Torreón - a 4,000-square-foot fresco by Frederico Vigil depicting 3,000 years of Hispanic history - is among the most ambitious works of public art in the American Southwest. Located in Albuquerque's historic Barelas neighborhood along the Río Grande, the NHCC serves as both a local cultural anchor and a national center for the study and celebration of Hispanic artistic heritage.
