Update: The floors are finished, and Christmas at the Palace will happen as usual. See the updated press release at http://media.museumofnewmexico.org/press_releases.php?action=detail&releaseID=239
Christmas at the Palace and Las Posadas, two of the most beloved holiday events in Santa Fe, are back again, but with a twist. A reflooring project in the entryway of the Palace of the Governors has forced us to lock its front doors, but we can’t keep Santa from greeting his fans at Christmas at the Palace on Friday, Dec. 7. Well-placed sources tell us that the world’s oldest elf plans to enter the Palace Courtyard through the Blue Gate on Washington Avenue, just south of the Lincoln Avenue entrance, and we advise all interested children to gather there at 5:30 pm with their families. Parts of the Palace, a National Historic Landmark, will be open. As a special treat, we’ll also open the first-floor lobby of the New Mexico History Museum for musical performances and a place to ward off the winter chill. Besides visiting with Santa in the Palace Courtyard, visitors can also enjoy Spanish carols, hot cider, biscochitos, and a piñata. The event, from 5:30—8 pm, is free. Donations of nonperishable foods are welcome. Las Posadas kicks off two nights later, at 5:30 pm on Sunday, Dec. 9.

SANTA FE, NM October 16, 2012 – Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar announced yesterday the designation of San José de los Jémez Mission and Gíusewa Pueblo Site, as “one of 26 national historic landmarks… that possess exceptional value and quality in illustrating or interpreting the heritage of the United States.” The Department of the Interior’s press release may be accessed here: http://www.doi.gov/news/pressreleases/Interior-Designates-27-New-National-Landmarks.cfm
San José de los Jémez Mission and Gíusewa Pueblo Site, a short drive from Albuquerque and Bernalillo, is part of the Jemez State Monument Heritage Area and is one of six New Mexico State Monuments.
At the site are the remarkable stone ruins of a 500 year old Indian village and the San José de los Jemez church dating to 1610 (about ten years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock).
The village of Gíusewa was built in the narrow San Diego Canyon by the ancestors of the present-day people of Jemez (Walatowa) Pueblo. The name “Gíusewa” is a Towa word that in English means “place at boiling water” because the Pueblo is located near a thermal spring.
The Jémez participated in the Spanish Revolt in 1680 yet suffered a heavy defeat when 12 years later the Spanish returned. The survivors abandoned their villages and joined neighboring Acoma, Zuni, Laguna, and Hopi Pueblos. The site then fell into ruins.
In 1849 Gíusewa Pueblo was rediscovered during a US Topographical Corps land survey. Tourists, scholars, and photographers began to visit the ruins with the first excavation taking place in 1910.
In 1921 the Museum of New Mexico and the School of American Research were gifted the land and in 1935 the site was declared a State Monument.
Monument manager Rick Reycraft said,; "This designation is the result of several years of joint effort by the New Mexico State Monuments, the National Park Service, and the Pueblo of Jemez. We are very pleased to finally see Gíusewa and San José de los Jemez receive the national recognition that this site deserves."
Upcoming at the Monument is the annual “Light Among the Ruins,” on December 15 beginning at 5 p.m. Free.

Mention “Winnetou” or “Old Shatterhand” almost anywhere in Europe, and you’ll be met with smiles. But try it in the United States, and you’re more likely to earn a blank stare. Created by German author Karl May, Winnetou and Old Shatterhand are two of the most popular fictional characters of the 19th and 20th century. In a series of novels, they served as trail guides to the mystique of the American West and even today are celebrated in European festivals and theme parks.
May’s books have outsold those of Louis L’Amour and Zane Grey combined and were beloved by the likes of Albert Einstein, Herman Hesse, Fritz Lang, and Franz Kafka. All of that makes the author (who died in 1912) something of an authority on cowboys, Indians, Rocky Mountains, saloon girls, soldiers, and banks ripe for robbing.
But there’s a hitch: May never saw the West. Nevertheless, his faith in the glory of the West and his ability to nurture an entire continent’s love for it has drawn countless people across the Atlantic to visit and to stay. From Nov. 18, 2012, to Feb. 9, 2014, the New Mexico History Museum celebrates May’s life, legacy and lasting impact in Tall Tales of the Wild West: The Stories of Karl May.

Diego de Vargas’s 1693 reconquest of Santa Fe did not create the peaceful Spanish province he needed for successful governance. To get it, he employed a series of strategies, including compadrazgo (godparenthood) of tribal children, divide-and-conquer, and a sweet helping of chocolate diplomacy.
State Historian Rick Hendricks will detail what Vargas did and how it worked in ”I Was Godfather to Them: Diego de Vargas and the Reconquest of New Mexico,” the annual Santa Fe Fiesta Lecture at the New Mexico History Museum at 6 pm on Wednesday, Sept. 5. The lecture is sponsored by the Palace Guard, and admission is free to its members; $5 others, at the door. Seating is limited.

As part of the national Blue Star Museums Program, New Mexico’s 14 state-run museums and historic monuments will once again offer free admission to active duty military personnel and their families during the summer months.

I hope that all active-duty military members in New Mexico, as well as their families, will enjoy some of our finest cultural treasures this summer.”
The National Endowment for the Arts created the Blue Star Museums program in 2010 to honor active-duty military members and their families.

In the early 1700s, Spain’s northern colony sat at the edge of a frontier that could be fraught with danger. Inside the Palace of the Governors at the New Mexico History Museum, visitors can see examples of what happened when explorers set out on that frontier. The Segesser Hide Paintings depict two such adventures on a grand scale—a total of roughly 137 square feet of what is likely bison leather painted with natural pigments.
“The Segesser hides are a rare and important artifact of our collection, not only because of what they show but because of what they are,” said Dr. Frances Levine, director of the New Mexico History Museum. “The expeditions depicted on the Segesser hides likely began at the front door of the Palace of the Governors, so we like to think that the hides truly came home to us.”

The New Mexico Museum of Art exhibition Repeat After Me assembles more than twenty contemporary prints that make use of repetition—as process and as image. A print, by definition, is a reproducible image: multiple prints can be made from a single plate. Repetition is seen also in these prints as visual motifs such as a line, a figure, or a geometric form such as a square, flower, or circle.

Thirteen years of painstaking work by some of the finest calligraphers, artists and theologians in the world comes to a close this year with the completion of The Saint John’s Bible – a contemporary handwritten and illuminated Bible created by a team of artists and calligraphers at a Scriptorium in Wales. Before its pages are bound into volumes and placed on permanent exhibition by the Benedictine monks at Saint John’s Abbey and University in Collegeville, Minn., 44 pages from two of the Bible’s seven volumes – Wisdom Books and Prophets – will be exhibited at the New Mexico History Museum.
Illuminating the Word: The Saint John’s Bible (Oct. 23 through Dec. 30, 2012) will share its space and spirit with Contemplative Landscape (Oct. 23 through Dec. 30, 2012), a photographic exploration of how people have responded to and interacted with New Mexico’s landscape through art, architecture and sacred rituals. The exhibition prominently features the work of Tony O’Brien, whose 1994-95 sojourn at a New Mexico monastery forms the heart of his new book, Light in the Desert: Photographs from the Monastery of Christ in the Desert (Museum of New Mexico Press), debuting with the exhibition.

The popularity of Illuminating the Word: The Saint John’s Bible, combined with the delighted approval of the exhibition’s design from the monks of Saint John’s University, has led to an extension of the show’s run.

“The installation of the folios in the New Mexico History Museum presents The Saint John’s Bible in one of the most beautiful and faith-filled exhibitions of this Bible done to date,” said Tim Ternes, director of The Saint John’s Bible. “The contemplative environment artfully shares the story, work and process of this monumental project in a setting that compels the guest to slow down, relax and reflect.
