Albuquerque Museum

The Albuquerque Museum of Art and History is a museum located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA. It was founded to conserve the art and history of Albuquerque and the Rio Grande, as well as to promote cultural and educational initiatives within the city. The Albuquerque Museum first opened its doors in 1967 near the Albuquerque International Airport. The collection gradually filled up space at the airport. The current structure was designed by Antoine Predock and erected in 1979. Its holdings are centered on Albuquerque history and include early maps, firearms, weaving goods, and colonial New Mexico antiquities.
