I was quite surprised by the extensive collections displayed in this museum. I had heard there were some wood carvings by an artist named Barela and I went specifically to see them and there were a couple of them displayed. Apparently there are more in storage, so perhaps another visit is in order. We combined our visit with a trip... More

The museum also reveals an insight into the life of Millicent Rogers, one of the best known of the wealthy and eccentric women who came to New Mexico, fell in love with the country and the cultures,...

Cute little museum with Millicent's personal artifacts. She collected an extensive array of some of the finest jewelry, pottery, textiles and religious art.

The best part of this museum was the jewellery collection. Hard to believe someone could collect this much! Really amazing. Also enjoyed her pottery collection. We were in and out in less than an hour.

This was one of my favorite things in the Taos area. I knew nothing about Ms. Rogers before I went, but have been fascinated with her ever since. You will be BLOWN AWAY by the turquoise she collected. I'm not particularly fond of turquoise jewelry. I don't own a single squash blossom. But when you see all she's collected you... More

On all our trips to Taos, we'd never been to this museum, which is out of the main part of town and a little off the beaten track. The museum gives a glimpse into the life and times of Ms Rogers. On display are her fantastic collections of Native American turquoise jewelry and pueblo pottery, including pieces by Maria Martinez.... More

Why is a rich oil baron's jewelry important? The new barons are in Santa Fe buying it still. Not worth the visit.

if you like old Indian blankets, pots, baskets and unbelievable collection of jewelry you will love this place. We did! Located outside Taos in a great adobe home, this is a highlight for us!
