MISSION
Dedicated museum professionals are working hard to ensure that what is now a construction site behind the Palace of the Governors in Santa Fe, New Mexico, becomes a museum that will change the way Americans look at their history.
The New Mexico History Museum began as the development of a storage facility for collections at the Palace of the Governors decades ago and has evolved into a first-class museum project, spurred by the national rethinking of the role history museums play in communities. They are no longer attics or basements full of long-forgotten objects. They are now places that partner in education, civic engagement, and social change.
