Built in 1917, it is a masterpiece of Pueblo Revival Architecture , and the one of the Santa Fe's best representations of the synthesis of Native American and Spanish Colonial design styles. The museum’s permanent collection and changing exhibitions of traditional and contemporary art place the art of the region into national and international contexts. The museum located at 107 West Palace Avenue, one block off the historic Santa Fe Plaza . COLLECTION The Museum of Art’s collection spans the historic art colonies of Taos and Santa Fe of the past 100 years to cutting-edge contemporary art from around the region and the world. Highlights of the museum’s 20,000 works of art include extensive collections of the Cinco Pintores; the Taos Society of Artists; the largest collection of Gustave Baumann ; the Lucy Lippard Collection; major American photographers, including the Jane Reese Williams Collection of women photographers; new media, including video installations; and an important collection of Georgia O’Keeffe paintings. EXHIBITIONS The Museum has recently rehung its permanent collection into an exhibition called "How the West is One."
