Museum of Fine Arts - Santa Fe
The Museum of Fine Arts was founded in 1917 as the Art Gallery of the Museum of New Mexico. It is located in Santa Fe, New Mexico and is housed in a spectacular Pueblo Revival building designed by I. H. and William M. Rapp. The museum's architecture inaugurated what has come to be known as the "Santa Fe Style." The building combines aspects of several Southwestern regional styles, including elements of the facades of the Spanish mission churches of Acoma, Laguna, and San Felipe pueblos. The musuem has collected and exhibited work by artists from New Mexico and elsewhere for more than 85 years.
