Museums

Museum Bingeing -- If you're a museum buff, pick up one of Museum of New Mexico's 4-day passes. It's good at all branches of the Museum of New Mexico: the Palace of the Governors, the Museum of Fine Arts, the Museum of International Folk Art, and the Museum of Indian Arts & Culture, with the Museum of Spanish Colonial Art thrown in for good measure. The cost is $18 for adults. Also ask about the new Culture Pass, good for 1 year, to visit museums all over the state for $25.

Cultural Chow -- If you get hungry while visiting the Museum of Indian Arts & Culture, the Museum of International Folk Art, the Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian, and the Museum of Spanish Colonial Art (all located together, southeast of the plaza), you can now feast on more than your fingernails. The Museum Hill Café (710 Camino Lejo; tel. 505/820-1776) is open for lunch Tuesday to Saturday 11am to 3pm, and for brunch on Sunday during the same hours.
