The Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian hosts changing exhibitions of contemporary and historic Native American art with an emphasis on the Southwest. Main gallery exhibitions change twice a year. Smaller galleries feature one-person shows by Native American artists and photographers, or items relating to the main gallery exhibition.

The museum and the Case Trading Post museum shop sponsor talks, seminars, meet-the-artist receptions, and many other events. A private, not-for-profit institution, the Wheelwright Museum does not charge an admission fee, and most of its events are free. Donations are welcomed.

Join us for an exciting series of trunk shows, featuring established Native American fashion designers and jewelers, starting in September! Partners in Design: Native Chic. For more information, click here.

Celebrating over 70 years as New Mexico’s oldest, independent, non-profit museum!
