Been to this house/museum several times. Home of the Blumenschein family - early Taos artists who were influential in creating Taos as an art colony. Really nice sense of early 20th century Taos life. All original furnishings.

We really enjoyed this museum - richly furnished with period furniture and art of this couple; insights into the history of Taos and the art community that lived here. We read nearly every interpretive sign to follow the lives and artistic development of these two artists. Fun and educational.

The history of this house is fascinating, and was the home of two famous artists, plus the place where other Taos artists gathered. The furniture in the house is original. It takes about 45 minutes to go through the house if you are on a tight schedule, and if not, probably 60-75 minutes.

You can almost imagine the stories told around the fireplace on cold, winter nights, as you... More

This museum did a good job of teaching me a bit of the history of Taos as an artists' retreat. It was focused on the life of the Blumenscheins and not overwhelming.

We almost didn't go to this museum, but I am so glad we did. I was facinated by the history of Taos and the amazing artists who called the community home. I also really liked the exhibit on the women of Taos. Definitely don't skip this one! Also, make sure you bu the museum pass to let you in all... More
