Holiday Open House

New Mexico Museum of Art and New Mexico History Museum will once again bring the Holiday Open House to the Plaza on December 10! There will be puppetry shows, music performances, and more family friendly activities across both museums all day. Admission will be free at both museums. 

The showstopper at NMMOA will be Teatro Duende’s performance of “A Holiday Party for Pappa Gus,” this year’s puppet show featuring the museum’s replicas of Gustave Baumann’s historic puppets. And at NMHM, visitors will have the opportunity to square dance and make tree ornaments made pages from New Mexico Magazine.
