Very interesting museum inspired by Millicent Rogers. We particularly enjoyed the incredible pottery on display that ranged from ancient to contemporary artists. Staff was very friendly and informative, great gift shop. Definitely check this out if you are in Taos!

I visited the Millicent Rogers Museum to see the pottery & textiles and was amazed at the scope of the collection. Some truely amazing antique Spanish saltito blankets and examples of the evolution in Navajo weaving are on display. Ancestral People's pottery on display shows incredible craftsmanship, and the story of modern Pueblo Pottery and examples are even more amazing. If you love turquoise you must see the jewelry exhibit! Great examples of authentic pawn jewelry and Harvey era jewelry as well as creations designed and in a few cases made by Millicent Rogers herself. Selections from Ms. Rogers early journal and drawings made as a teen also display a talent inheritance couldn't buy. What a fascinating lady! And although she is gone, here collection is here for all to ponder and enjoy.

Stephen Yale

Great place to visit.

Ajax Manatiso

Interesting little museum showing the life and collection of the Standard Oil heiress. She had a lavish and previledged life with many items made by native Americans of the southwest.

Anne Schwartz

OMG What a woman! What a Museum!!

Taya Wright

Very cute and organized museum just outside of Taos. Cheap price and a wealth of knowledge inside, You walk the museum yourself with a pamphlet that will highlight each room. Each room also has plaques on the wall and cases to tell you about the items in it. To me this one was so interesting because it was more than just artwork (which I know Taos is very famous for art but learning the culture about the Navajos and Hispanics was just fascinating).

Desiree Velarde

The staff were wonderful. The museum was beautiful. The displays were well described and placed and the layout was like a fun maze. My son and I loved the holiday arts and crafts.

Michael Soeby

Great place. We have been there several times.

Tim Tankard

Comprehensive collection of southwest art. Well curated and eclectic holdings testify to both an amazing woman and a powerful artistic tradition.

Elizabeth Martin

Wonderful collection and a very interesting lady. The people working at the museum were also knowledgeable, kind, and informative. My husband and I had a great time perusing the museum. Excellent and well thought out museum store as well.

Leesa Bloom

I could get lost in here for days. Amazing!

Mike Courtright

Very extensive collection of SW art that covers hundreds of years.

Gale Armstrong Moses

This little museum is a must-see if you are in Taos. It’s located in a darling home with many rooms of displays around a central courtyard which has some amazing native sculptures. There are displays of paintings, pottery and baskets and other Native American artistry. It’s a special place.

Claire Hamilton

Really cool museum. We learned a ton in the short time we were there. It's well kept and the staff was nice.

David Pierce

A lot more exhibits than I expected. Very professionally done

Tom Konrad

Very much enjoyed the history and examples of Pueblo Indian pottery, jewelery, and weaving. Also likes the uniqe jewelry and crafts from native Craftsmen and women. Expect to take about two hours to tour the exhibits and shop. My favorite museum in Taos.

Brad Allen

Great museum with fantastic Native American art. The story of Millicent Rogers herself is also quite fascinating.

Fabien Bornancin

(Translated by Google) Beautiful collection of art and jewelry Native American. (Original) Magnifique collection d'art et de bijoux amérindien.

Elaine Bailey

This is a wonderful museum! Well worth the visit

Ed Gowens

A true Taos treasure! The rotating exhibits showcase local art, some for sale, alongside the permanent collection of Rogers' cutting-edge jewelry, pottery, textiles, and basketry supplemented by designs of her own. A wonderful Southwest setting complements the assemblage. The gift shop has absolutely no import imitations, but instead offers a variety of art, all locally sourced.

Gottfried Kibelka

I learned so much about pottery, weaving, jewelry of the Southwest that I wonder what I did in all the museum's and National parks. Lots of examples and a clear story that doesn't try to explain too much but set dates, names, and artifacts together in convincing ensembles and as points in time. I deeply enjoyed the story of Maria and her family, the roots of much of modern, popular pottery. Carved Santos, belts, rugs, owls, horses, and a chapel filled with artifacts. Unbelievable gift store, museum's shop with plenty of originals, estate donations, and Rogers family. A real joy to walk the rooms, get lost and to eventually stumble upon Millicent's drawings inspired by Anderson's little mermaid. Really a gem of gems in Taos.

Matt Burt

Great collection, nice place.

Angela Sasse

Really lovely museum of its kind - located in a historical house and that been sympathetically restored and extended. If you are interested in traditional crafts, jewellery and fashion, it is an absolute gem (excuse the pun) - good collection, nicely laid out and presented. The highlight is the jewellery Millicent Rogers herself designed, displayed well. I found the Museum shop a let-down - it is spacious and full of jewelley and clothing. What I really wanted to buy were reproductions of MR's designs - but there are only 7 silver pieces - and even from a distance you can see that they are not particularly well-made (cast and not hand-finished/polished?), nowhere near the quality of the originals - I wouldn't spend $150 on them. Much of other tradionally inspired stuff is expensive; the most interesting section was where they are re-selling collectors' items.

Nichole Graf

A wonderful look into the life and collections of Millicent. Incredible pieces of native beadwork and pottery. Loved Millicent's personal work as well, from her paintings to her jewelry designs. A well organized and truly enjoyable space to visit as well.

NIna Simao

Pamela Giarrante-Rohs

Amazing interesting and a fabulous story of her life and passion for art and style.

meg butak

I only had a short afternoon in Taos, so only had time for one museum. I am happy with my selection, as the collection has a delightful variety of historic and contemporary pieces from the locality. I left delighted, amazed and further informed, which is everything i could ask from a good museum. A top notch experience for $10!

Murray Van Dyke

An extraordinary gem for those interested in Southwest art of all sorts. Some the best examples of silverwork anywhere. A comprehensive collection and history of the great San Ildefonso potters. A marvelous small museum, worth the short ride out of town.

Simone Albertini

One of the best museums I've visited in the southwest.. It really helps you to understand the natives cultures and differences!

Jessica Sword

Great museum. I would have loved more history and photos of Millicent Rogers herself. The Maria Martinez pottery room was fascinating. There were a couple rooms towards the end that I breezed through. One room had drawings from high school students. Great drawings, but an abundance and not of interest. The placards are well detailed. Overall, definitely worth a visit!

Dave Richard

This is THE must -see venue in Taos. Forget the Harwood (easy to do), you have to see this collection. Beautifully done and amazing in the scope of pieces.

SK Lund

Every visitor to Taos should visit this museum. Excellent multidisciplinary displays.

Richard Rubin

Unique and strong experience of New Mexico traditional cultures, art, and artifacts in a home and gardens themselves historical and authentic.

Sean Trundle

Really wonderful collection of indigenous and Hispanic art; particularly strong displays of jewelry and pottery. Plus the museum has a fascinating backstory - make sure to ask the staff about Rogers' life.

Marietta Crane

Fascinating glimpse into her life, her artwork, and her collection of historic southwest Native American art. If you're in Taos, do not miss this museum!

Avi Kieffer

Lots of pottery. Large cover charge not suggested donation. Learn how the native americans used dung to make clay.

Margarita Maislen

Wonderful!

D. R. C.

Katie Zeitler

maridel menguito Anama

Interesting life story beautiful jewelry and art work

Desertwash Prospector

The museum is probably one of the best I have ever gone to. The multiple collections here are very interesting. The namesake was a beautiful person who had a beautiful soul. If you like art and jewelry this is a must go to. There is also antique religious items and carpentry. The best thing that warms the soul is a letter the namesake wrote to her son shortly before her death. You will need to go there to see what was composed in the letter, the words will enlighten you and free your soul of worries for the rest of your life.

Andrea Lisi

Very nice museum

Adele Delorenzo

Great place to see!

Mary Courtney

One if the best museums I've ever visited. The room dedicated to the work and legacy of Maria Montoya Martinez was fascinating. Jewelry fans will drool over Ms. Roger's collection and her own designs.

Kathryn Ritter

Best museum in Taos!

Alan Wilson

Millicent Rogers was rich socialite in the 1930s who had impeccable taste. Her collections of native american paintings, pottery, sculptures and blankets are beautiful.

Catherine Galley

Do not miss! The collections are fantastic, the reception person gave an excellent little introduction and there is so much interesting and valuable content. The building and the setting are beautifully suited to the museum.

Emily L

Unique and diverse collection of really interesting arts

John Hardham

I've been going to this museum for almost 50 years and it just gets better every time!

Ben Beerents

Mooi museum. Inzicht in Indiase kunst. Kregen goed beeld van de rol die Millicent Rogers heeft gespeeld in het bij een groter publiek bekend maken van de Indiaanse kunst.

dave

A great suprise! Honestly had not heard of Millicent Rogers before we took a chance to see this museum. All of the beautiful artwork pottery really blew my mind. I had no idea how wonderful this museum is. Millicent Rogers was a beautiful woman, but her creations surpassed even her beauty. I will go back to take in more.
