I was planning to visit here and then learned that they fired historians for speaking out about the genocide happening in Palestine. So I’ve lost all interest to ever check out this museum.

Just be careful of this place. They don’t like preserving history!!!!!The people who work here only care about history that is palpable. These people are not interested in telling the whole picture, but rather just bits and pieces. They have shown that in times of war, they will align themselves not to facts but propaganda.

This really is a thorough dive into New Mexico history back 1000 years. But mostly focusing on the last 200. Very thorough explanations of major things that happened more recently, including statehood, beautiful presentation of artifacts, and excellent detail in the descriptions.
