Nuevo Mexicano Heritage Arts Museum is the United States' only museum focusing on the art of the Spanish Colonial period, with an emphasis on works created by Hispanic Southwest artists. The museum, which was opened to the public in Santa Fe in 2002 in a beautiful Spanish Pueblo Revival-style building designed by architect John Gaw Meem, showcases an impressive collection of visual art, furniture, and textiles, including collections of devotional and decorative artworks. Exhibits include La Casa Delgado, which recreates the estate inventory of noted captain and merchant Manuel Delgado. Young visitors can try on traditional historical outfits at the museum's Costume Corner, including Spanish Colonial and 19th-century pioneer garb. Rotating special art exhibits are showcased, including national traveling exhibits focusing on Spanish Colonial art.
