As a cornerstone of the community, Albuquerque Museum cares for important collections of art and history presented through well-curated exhibitions and programs that inspire and promote learning across cultures. The Museum continues to expand the quality and scope of its collections; elevate the understanding of the city, state, and the greater Southwest; and engage Albuquerque with a global community. Its values are curiosity, collaboration, dialogue, respect, acknowledgment, representation, and place.
