Very interesting display of American Indian humor and other art. Well worth the visit.!

What a wonderful museum! Small, intimate, feels very personal. Everyone on staff was super friendly, helpful and welcoming. I really enjoyed the exhibits featuring indigenous New Mexican artists, and watching the videos of the artists discussing their perspectives and creative process. The museum gift shop is a replica of a trading post. I just wish they had a larger selection of museum books.

Great exhibit chronicling evolution of native jewelry. Funny exhibit Humor in Native American art. Worth a visit

Wow! What a spectacular place! The permanent jewelry collection is just amazing. Take time to read the posters and get a sense of the history, because it makes the exhibit even better. I also really enjoyed the temporary exhibit on Laughter and Resilience. This place was just wonderful.

There was a fun exhibit of art on temporary display that we thoroughly enjoyed. The creative art and jewelry on permanent display was exceptional and very informative. The history of native crafts in metal shell was particularly interesting to me.

Contemporary native art with humor.

This was a great art museum to visit. They currently have a exhibit on humor in Native American culture, along with a large jewelry collection, and artworks in dialogue. Good place to visit for an hour or two.

Lovely setting. Reliably good food! Always enjoy eating there.

Wonderful Native American jewelry exhibit with pieces both old and new. Nice gift shop too!

A public place should not be open if restrooms are not available. Also, did not open on time

Great little museum, with tremendous authentic native artists-- established and newer. Easy to visit, a perfect under one hour visit. The shop is also very good, with reasonable prices again for authentic art.

Excellent museum with interesting, changing exhibits. Historic to contemporary jewelry wing is phenomenal!

What a wonderful museum! A stunning exhibit by Rose B. Simpson and whoever did the lighting for her pieces should be nominated (and subsequently win) an award! The commentary by Bob Haozous was poignant without descending into cynicism and nihilism (the same could be said of Rose!) don’t miss their video interviews - definitely watch them before you go through the museum as it adds so much context and character to their works. Definitely hit the trading post to support the local artists and the museum as they have some great pieces, books, etc... for reasonable prices. The irony of buying something is not lost on me given the character of the exhibits but this place is what markets should aspire to support - vote with your money and your feet to spread the vital messages this museum conveys, to support their fabulous permanent jewelry collection, and to learn and experience contemporary culture that deserves to be spread!

Everything inside the artist made was a bit confusing. The jewelry on the other hand was beautiful. I would recommend this place.

What an awesome little gem of a museum!

Marvelous chronological collection of Native American crafted jewelry and contemporary native artists work.

Labeled as New Mexico’s oldest non-profit, independent museum, the Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian in Santa Fe is small but houses a variety of contemporary and historic Native American art. It has huge gallery of antique jewelry and ceramics, with each piece identified by the tribe.There is a museum shop, the Case Trading Post, at the basement. While the shop has a great selection of vintage pieces, I thought they are all pricey. Imagine a necklace for $80!If you have at least an hour to spare while you are in Santa Fe, the Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian is worth seeing.

A reasonably good museum, but with a focus on contemporary exhibits (overwhelmingly 20th Century) rather than historical exhibits. This was not made clear until we actually paid and entered the museum. I was disappointed since there are 100 art galleries we could have gone to for free to see contemporary Indian art.

Great displays all around. Beyond the regular displays, individual artists are showing their outstanding work.

The retro Coyote cartoon was awesome.

Great works contemporary native art!

Great find, beautiful artwork and hand crafted silver jewelry, belts, silverware and other interesting pieces. Non-profit gallery which has been in existence for quite some time. Very close to downtown Santa Fe, not walking distance but a short car ride.

Great place to find items from well known artist as well as up and coming artist. Prices are reasonable.

Great museum with somerhing for everybody including free parking. Free 1st Sunday lectures are wonderful!

Small museum, great jewelry collection beautifully displayed along with modern Indian art.

Really small and its ok. Their gift shop is nice

Rose B. Simpson exhibit was fabulous. Nice museum.

Beautiful but small. The only thing on display was a beautiful collection of Native American jewelry. The staff is very welcoming.

I went with a group and I thoroughly enjoyed this museum. The art was various and interesting. I noticed how much pottery had changed after the Spanish conquest!! Very subtle and sophisticated before, much less so afterward, although still beautiful ... I also really liked the mural inside the entrance.

Beautiful collection of native American made jewellery. The docent was so knowledgeable and informative. Loved the shop too - very helpful staff.

Not bad. The most interesting part was to talk with the clerk in the gift shop and learned knowledge of Indian tribes in New Mexico.

Fascinating exhibits, highly recommend!

A lovely, well done museum .

Interesting rotating collection, alongside a tremendous exhibit of Native American silver and jewelry, and an excellent gift shop / trading post.

Interesting exhibits and beautiful location.

Interesting collection begun many years ago by Mrs Wheelright. Extensive gift shop. Parking lot has no fee.

Fabulous museum!

A small but excellent museum for those interested in Native American art, both contemporary and historic.

My favorite Santa Fe museum. It may be small, but the variety of native arts rotating though is astounding.

Huge! collection beautiful Indian Jewelry. Traces the history of Indian Jewelry making. Clean, spacious, in a lovely natural setting. First Sunday of the month is free admission.

Excellent exhibit of ground-breaking work by Rose Simpson and Bob Haozous. Profound.

Outstanding exhibits!

Extremely interesting. Docents were very infomative and knowledgeable. Many exhibits of local and area native people.

Small but lovely, dont forget the trading post to find a gem to go home with

Best jewelry collection in new mexico

We really enjoyed our look around the museum. Remarkable jewelry collection arranged by artist and timeframe. Cochina dolls for sale in the gift shop too, which was unexpected.

Sometimes a hidden secret but must go see

Great artwork!!

Offers the history of jewelry making by native Americans with many fine examples.

Small but good

Case Trading Post is down stairs at the back of the museum-- they dont make a big deal of it, but it is one of the best places to buy jewelry, pots, rugs, kachinas, paintings by some of the best contemporary Native American artists. And you can feel good knowing that the artists get a fair deal and the shop itself is nonprofit.

Great attraction in New Mexico I highly recommend this museum

Intresting American history.

Amazing collection! Its like jewelry heaven.

Amazing collection. Worth seeing for sure!

Excellent showcase of Indian Art and Case Trading post a must.

1st Sundays free! Wonderful Eye Candy and history

Case trading post is the name of their gift shop, check it out its great.

AWESOME!!

Horrible excuse for a museum. all it is is a gift shop there are currently no artifacts or anything just a gift shop. call before u go to see if they are actually showing anything.

Missed eclipse due to clouds and rain, but Museum not to be missed. Eat at the museum cafe, indoor or outdoor, fabulous views.

The newly opened Center for the Study of Southwest Jewelery is, as Michelin Guide would say, worth a journey. I am not kidding, any lover of fine native American jewelery can justify a trip to Santa Fe just to see this incredible new facility and display. And now, a little secret.........the temporary exhibition of Ralph T. Coes lifetime collection has just been mounted with the vital assistance of the Ralph T. Coe Foundation. It is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see his eclectic collection of fine objects from the 18th, 19th, and 20th century of native Americans from all over North America.
