The museum houses the extraordinary collection of the Spanish Colonial Arts Society, a collection of over 3700 pieces including historically significant and contemporary works.
The building was designed by renowned architect John Gaw Meem in 1930, and is a wonderful example of the “Spanish Colonial” style for which Meem is known. Meem and his wife “Faith”, had been involved with the Society from its incorporation. They donated a substantial gift of 147 Bultos and Retablos to the Society collection in 1985. The building provides an intimate setting where visitors from around the world can view the collections and learn the fascinating history of Spanish Colonial art.
The Santa Fe community are grateful to The Museum of Spanish Colonial Art for sponsoring the highly popular Traditional Spanish Market, which draws as many as 80,000 visitors each year in the month of July. Please reference our Annual Events category for details and current date information.
