For a town its size, Taos contains an impressive collection of fine art museums and other historic sites of note. Most of these are in the center of town and within an easy walk of Taos Plaza, but you'll need a car to visit the Millicent Rogers Museum, Rancho de Taos, and a few other notable sites.
This popular gallery displays Jirby's whimsical, brightly colored landscape paintings. Her work is bold and colorful, and largely dedicated to her favorite subject: the Taos landscape. She was born in Kiruna, Sweden (north of the Arctic Circle), and it was there she learned to paint, influenced by Swedish artists who had studied with Impressionists. Be sure to stroll through the lovely sculpture garden.
