Albuquerque Museum

Albuquerque Museum is the rock-solid cornerstone of Albuquerque’s cultural community. All things New Mexico: from the Alvarado to O’Keeffe, Blumenschein to the Bosque, and more. 

Whether you're a local seeking to be immersed in art or history, or a visitor wanting to experience Albuquerque's premier cultural institution, be sure to include a visit to Albuquerque Museum.

In addition to world-class exhibitions, the Museum offers a wide variety of programming including educational classes for children of all ages; live performances in its amphitheater; guided tours in the Museum, its Sculpture Garden and Old Town; the Museum Store and the Museum's café, Slate at The Museum.

Albuquerque Museum also includes the historic Casa San Ysidro: The Gutiérrez-Minge House, located in the village of Corrales, just north of Albuquerque. This original Greek revival home, built by the Gutiérrez family in the 1870s, includes Alan and Shirley Minge's recreation of a 19th century rancho, complete with a small family chapel, a central plazuela and an enclosed corral.

Museum Mission Statement

Albuquerque Museum cares for important collections of art and history, presented through well-curated exhibitions and programs that inspire and promote learning across cultures.  

Museum Guide Program

Albuquerque Museum is committed to welcoming diverse audiences that are reflective of our community.  Museum Guides facilitate learning experiences in the galleries, sculpture garden, and online. These volunteers are key partners in our mission to create an inclusive environment where everyone can be inspired and find connection with art and history.

Who Should Volunteer?

We encourage people from different backgrounds and life experiences to apply to our Museum Guide program.  We strive to create a volunteer corps that reflects the diversity of Albuquerque.  Prospective Museum Guides (commonly referred to as docents) should have an interest in learning about art and history, working with audiences of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities, and sharing their passion for art and history with the community.  No prior experience is required.  We invite anyone with enthusiasm for the power of storytelling to provide this unique form of service to Museum visitors.
