Seeing it and the video showing what they did with it was probably my favorite thing to see in the museum! It was cool to see it and learn about it.

Fortunately for us, the museum was running a free admission Friday! Because of this, the museum was very busy, especially with a large group of students roaming around. The museum has two floors with several galleries to explore. On the first floor, I was captivated by the murals and hanging panels portraying the seasons and migration of tribes and herds. A separate downstairs gallery featured modern art pieces, and there was one particularly sobering piece on sexual abuse perpetuated by the Catholic Church. These pieces were quite heavy as you could feel the grief expressed by the artists. Upstairs felt different, showcasing Native pride through their regalia, bolos, and handmade jewelry. The upstairs galleries felt more celebratory of Native culture, drawing attention to their accomplishments and craftsmanship. Overall, the museum offers an eye-opening experience, and I left with a greater appreciation for Native art, culture, and collective lived experience.

There's no attributions to artists, years, or even geographic origin provided for most of the collection. It's all fun to look at but I don't feel like we learned a lot. It feels rather chaotic and jam-packed. More signage and labeling would go a long way toward improving the museum. Temporary exhibits were much more satisfying, particularly the one we caught focusing on work by incarcerated individuals. I hope the caretakers of the extensive permanent collection make their way through the pieces and give each one the provenance and space it deserves.

The front door may be locked if you don't arrive in time, my tips are yours to success :)) This museum is family owned, and the layout in a beautiful historical castle is just amazing. Antiques adorn every room. The displays are well lit and have information for you to read and over 50 QR codes to scan for more interactive experience. Every room is curated by specific topics and designed to showcase an amazing collection and teach the patrons so much. Whether you're interested in the mining aspect, different countries that used turquoise over the generations, spotting imitations, what mines produce different variations, or learning about the family who started the museum, there is something for all. There are sample stones and areas set up to test your own knowledge at different turquoise and spotting fakes. And a mine you can go inside. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and look forward to going back next time in town. Dont forget to stop and browse the collection for sale in the gift shop. I picked up a few pieces from the sleeping beauty mine, my fav!
