Library Open House
Will Shuster archives

New Mexico Museum of Art

Will Shuster is best remembered today as the creator of Zozobra, the legendary marionette effigy that burns every fall for the Santa Fe Fiesta. Visitors to this open house will get to see the many sides of Shuster – artist, husband, World War I veteran, friend and all around merry maker. The New Mexico Museum of Art owns a comprehensive collection of Shuster’s archives that includes his journals, military records, handwritten letters, photographs of the burning of Zozobra and other documentation of local celebrations Shuster was involved in.

This event is an informal opportunity for you to browse books and artist files, ask questions, exchange recommendations with the Librarian and see what’s new.  About 7500 books are available for browsing, reading and creative inspiration.  We offer free Wifi if you wish to bring a laptop, smartphone or tablet.  Come any time between 1-4pm.

The lobby and courtyard of the museum are food and drink friendly, the library is just friendly. Please finish your food and drinks before entering the library.
