Located on historic Ledoux Street, the Harwood Museum of Art contains an impressive and wide-ranging collection of art from northern New Mexico and southern Colorado including works from Native American, Hispanic and Anglo-American settlers and artists. The collection of sacred carved figures known as “santos” and the nearly 20,000 photographic images dating to the 1800s are particularly impressive.
The Harwood collection includes famed landscapes and portraiture works from the well-known Taos Society of Artists (1915-1927) as well as contemporary pieces. The museum also serves as a research center, holding vast quantities of prints, letters, photographs and drawings highlighting the outstanding art history of the region.
