The Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian offers unique exhibitions of contemporary and historic Native American art.

We originate every exhibition, bringing you new research, fresh perspectives, and a richness of visual expression you won’t see anywhere else. Our museum shop, the Case Trading Post, features the best in contemporary craft and fine arts by more than 200 Native American artists, as well as a great selection of vintage and antique jewelry, ceramics, and textiles. The Case Trading Post is Santa Fe's oldest continuously operating gallery of Native American art. The general admission fee is $8.00. Admission fees apply to adult tour groups. Admission to the museum will be free to the public the first Sunday of every month. Admission is free for museum members, Native Americans, children under the age of 12, students with a valid student id, and active military. Celebrating over 75 years as New Mexico’s oldest, independent, non-profit museum!

Coming this month: OUTBURST
The first exhibition to explore the intersection of activism, creativity, and the effects of military service on Native American art from the 1970s.
The exhibition poses a provocative question: Can we accurately interpret the popularity and impact of contemporary Native American art from the 1970s without acknowledging the experiences of Native American veteran-artists returning from the Vietnam War?
Showcasing over ninety works, it aims to interpret the dynamic artworks that characterize this period through the
experiences of Native veteran-artists.
