A few weeks ago, our CEO encouraged us all to get out and visit a museum in our local area. As a long-time home-office worker, I do find that I don’t really get out much! So this was a fun assignment.
I went over the the Museum of ABQ which houses exactly ONE Georgia O’Keefe, which is annoying seeing as how she spent a lot of time here and painted so much of New Mexico. I believe the one they have in the museum is the first painting she did in NM.
The building itself is a work of art, with some lovely indoor patio sculpture areas.
It also houses a lovely Henrietta Wyeth.
There’s also an exhibit on the history of the city which includes a very tiny pic of Bill Gates with Ed Roberts, the founder of the Altair 8800, the personal computer which drew Gates and Paul Allen to New Mexico in the very very early days of Microsoft.
If we are collecting odd and unusual museums, I do want to shout out to the International Rattlesnake Museum, which I will not visit because snakes freak me out, but my family has been there a million times. Pictured below is my mom and me and one of my kiddos circa 2011 just before I started working here in front of the door. Very classic New Mexico vibe.
