 | |  |  | Regional Cultural Centers: Indian Pueblo Cultural Center | Tip Rating:   |  |  | |  |
I've lived here for over a decade, and can honestly say I don't spend enough time here. The Pueblo Cultural Center is a wonderful way to learn about the 19 local pueblos, and their cultures. In addition to the requisite musuem and gift shop, there are children's exhibits and cultural events every weekend. All but the musuems are free to the public. And if you snag a local, the museums entry will only cost you $6! The museums include more modern exhibits that cycle throughout the year, and the underground museum of pueblo history ... both amazing, both special! My buddy's go to the restaurant several times a week for lunch, and they can't say enought about the food. I love the courtyard ..... with the murals, green grass, traditional oven, and activity. This pic was taken on a weekday, so not too active. On the weekend, this is where the cultural dances and events occur, so it's quite a hub of activity on those days :) Leave a Comment Address: 2401 12th Street NWPhone: 505-843-7270Directions: On 12th, north of I-40 ..... west side of the street.Website: www.indianpueblo.org

The National Hispanic Cultural Center is one of the brightest jewels in Albuquerque's crown of cultural offerings. Nestled in the South Valley bosque (Cottonwood forest), this architecturally striking compound consists of art galleries, museums, performance spaces, theaters and classrooms. There is virtually something going on there everyday. The NHCC presents the best in Hispanic plays, concerts, films, art, flamenco dancing, salsa and symphony concerts. It has hosted a Chile Harvest Festival and various events for children during the summer and, at Halloween, a Day of the Dead celebration. Open everyday is the 11,000 sf main gallery. It exhibits contemporary, traditional, and classic Hispanic art from around the world. This gallery hosted a show of the Hispanic art collection of actor/comedian Cheech Marin which boasted the largest attendance for an art opening in New Mexico history. A visiting Los Angeles official who toured the center said that the facility is "the model center that represents the greatest and largest vision for a Hispanic Cultural Center in the US." If you are visiting Albuquerque put the NHCC at the very top of your "must see" list. If you live here and have never been to the NHCC kick yourself and go today.
