Fodor's Review:
As much an educational and community gathering space as a museum, the Santa Fe Cultural Museum celebrates Santa Fe's -- and New Mexico's -- rich Hispanic heritage by presenting a wide range of events, from children's theater to musical concerts. The museum also sponsors the Contemporary Hispanic Market on the Plaza each July (held the same time as Spanish Market), and the Contemporary Hispanic Artists Winter Market, held at El Museo Cultural in late November. There's also a gallery that exhibits contemporary art by Hispanic artists. A great resource to visitors are the many classes and workshops, which are open to the public, and touch on everything from guitar and Mexican folkloric dance to children's theater and art. The museum occupies what had been a dilapidated liquor warehouse before El Museo took over the space in the late '90s.
