The Indian Pueblo Cultural Center opened in 1976 and is owned and operated by the 19 Indian Pueblos of New Mexico. The museum, a 10,000 sq. ft. facility, has over 300,000 visitors each year that learn about one of the oldest American cultures, its origins, spoken traditions, art and craftsmanship and the cultural development of this tribe.
To commemorate the history and the accomplishments of the Pueblo people, the Cultural Center offers a glimpse of the proud heritage through the many artifacts and contemporary art exhibits at the museum. Primarily located in New Mexico, the Pueblo people have also extended into the states of Colorado and Arizona. The 19 pueblos consist of the following: the Acoma, the Cochiti, the Isleta, the Jemez, the Laguna, the Nambe, the Picuris, the Pojoaque, the Sandia, the San Felipe, the San Ildefonso, the San Juan, the Santa Ana, the Santa Clara, the Santo Domingo, the Taos, the Tesuque, the Zia and the Zuni.
The Indian Cultural Center also has a Gift Shop, with the largest collection of authentic Indian jewelry in the southwest, pottery, rugs, sculptures, and paintings among the many Native American souvenirs. You can experience Native New Mexican Cuisine at The Pueblo Harvest Café or catch an unexpected traditional Indian dance performed by the 19 New Mexico Pueblos, other Indian tribes and performers from other parts of the world. In addition to the permanent exhibitions, the Cultural Center offers contemporary exhibits featuring Pueblo artists and craftsmen.
The Center also provides facilities and catering for meetings, conferences or special events for small or large groups. Tours are also made available to the public.
