El Museo Cultural de Santa Fe

Santa Fe


This Hispanic cultural center hosts art exhibitions, theater performances, classes, lectures and, most interestingly, a winter market (www.elmuseoculturalwintermarket.org; October to May) on weekend mornings, where you'll find art, furniture, jewelry and textiles for sale. On Saturdays, combine it with a trip to the farmers market, just next door.
