Everybody knows that Taos has great museums, galleries, and natural wonders. I would like to put in my vote for the Millicent Rogers Museum. What a great place! If you are interested in the crafts of the Southwest, this is a must see.
Rogers herself is a fascinating figure, and the museum offers interesting tidbits about her life and times in Taos. The museum features silver and turquoise jewelry, basketry, extensive pottery exhibits, textiles, and much more. Not only is the museum great, but the gift shop gives devotees of Southwestern art a chance to own their own treasure.
The gift shop offers Navajo weavings, local pottery and jewelry, and neat local knick-knacks. Also, the shop is currently displaying a private collection of jewelry which is for sale. The variety of items in the collection is enormous and it is truly an opportunity to own your own work of art.
The shop is located off the main road out of Taos, and only about 3 miles from the Cottonwood B and B. Sunday is free museum day for Taos County residents-- so don't miss your chance to check out some great art!
