Museum of International Folk Art
If you visit Santa Fe, you must visit the Museum of International Folk Art. This museum houses not only craft items from around the world, but an amazing costume and textile collection.
As part of the past Retreat I hosted, we visited the museum to view an exhibit called Writing with Thread. This featured costume from tribes in China. Unfortunately, photos were not allowed in the gallery, so it is not possible to share with you. And... the exhibit is now over so I cannot send you to the web site to view the amazing costumes we saw.
Below are some images of the grounds and art outside the museum.
