    The main room of this museum is packed with an incredibly eclectic collection of figures and scenes everywhere you look, up, down, right, left, and then you turn around and there's even more behind you. It can be overwhelming at first, but if you zoom in to individual scenes and figures, you find some very cool art.

    Okay, so if you would be interested in folk art, I think this museum would be amazing. There is an overwhelming selection of pieces and everything is laid out in a logical way.

    If you aren't interested in folk art and aren't being forced here by your mom and aunt on a family excursion like I was than you could skip a stop here. I had no idea what to make of anything and it looked to me like a massive doll collection. 15 minutes was enough for me where my mom could have easily spent all afternoon meandering around. Wifi works flawlessly!

    Beautiful grounds with a sweeping view of the city and mountains. Feels like Somme sort of sky temple out of a fantasy novel. there's a great play area for children inside too.

    I didn't even realize how long I was in there. There's a lot. It's cool. And interesting. Worth it. Nice student pricing.

    Fabulous place with creative art from numerous cultures. I was there for the special Dia de los Muertos event.

    The employee who showed me how to flow through the exhibit halls never offered me a guide book or an audio tour headset. I went back to ask for the headset and was given one with the caveat that it was not very helpful as it only guided about 20+ dioramas, so I stopped using it after the second stop. Even with the guide book I found the main hall very difficult to navigate and the organization of the exhibits was, well, disorganized. I met several other people in the main hall having the same problem. The exhibit on the international folk art festival contributors was good. The best part was the Tramp Art exhibit and the video interviews with Freeland Tanner of Napa. When I inquired if he and his house survived the Napa fires last week, no one knew.Sorry, but I should have gone to a different museum today.

    Fun little tour. We thought the items were rather new for a museum. One of the rooms was nothing but dioramas and toys. Tell me: what does mecha toys have to do with folk art?

    This museum is very interesting. I think you might need a couple days to see it all.

    I can't understand why there are no labels. It was confusing and frustrating.

    Holy smokes! This place is unreal. And the location is convenient - away from the hectic Plaza. This art museum is a must see. It is clear after exploring the museum for two hours that the curators know what folk art is and how to tell a story with it.

    Wonderful Museum full of thousands of pieces! Great place for kids, fun for adults too. I had an awesome private tour by an off-duty docet.

    The Museum of International Folk Art in Santa Fe has the best examples of folk art in the US. Admission is $12 for adults, Kids 16 & under are free. Located on Museum Hill, you can hit several major exhibitions in one dayand there's definitely plenty to see for more than 1 day.

    I particularly enjoyed the Flamenco exhibit while we were here this time - there was a flamenco guitar concert in the middle of the day. In the front room, Tibetan Monks were beginning an intricate mandala. Definitely a LOT of bang for your buck!

    Wonderful for children - my teens had no problem spending 2+ hours in here and I felt they really saw things that opened their perspectives.
