Museum of International Folk ArtThe most important and comprehensive collection of
cross-cultural folk art in the world is housed in the Santa Fe
Museum of International Folk Art, about two miles (3km) southeast
of the city's central Plaza on the old Sante Fe Trail. Fascinating
for tourists, and a treasure trove for researchers, scholars and
contemporary artisans, the collection of the museum runs to about
125,000 pieces, divided into different categories. Of particular
note are the Spanish Colonial collection, the south-western
Hispanic Art collection of 20th century works, and collections of
international textiles and costumes. There are examples of folk art
from more than 100 different countries.
