My favorite contemporary gallery in Santa Fe. Saw a fabulous Eve Sussman video installation here- 89 Seconds at Alcazar. It recreates the scene from Diego Valezquez’s 17th Century painting Las Meninas. Incredibly lush.
bell from 1356 in the Mission- the oldest church in Santa Fe.
It takes a lot of strength to hold up a bell.
milagros. offerings left when a specific healing prayer was answered
confessional. The tour guide joked that only the lightest of sins were disclosed.
I got to ding the bell with a hammer three times.

Another honkin’ necklace. It was so huge, I could barely get it in the frame.
Worth seeing the two 20 minute videos…narrated by Gene Hackman.

Road Trip comes to a close….I was happy I got to snap photos in the Internatioanl Folk Art Museum, unlike the Arts and Culture museum where it was not allowed. (I didn’t see any signs anyway! gulp.)…. Both are fantastic museums, not to be missed if you visit Santa Fe.
Thanks for coming along with me.
