Exhibit Opening: Painting the Divine

Painting the Divine: Images of Mary in the New World features 35 masterpieces from the museum’s collections, combined with modern interpretations that, together, reveal a story of how faith unified Spanish colonists across harsh and remote frontiers. Be among the first to see this original exhibit, accompanied by Spanish classical guitar performed by AnnaMaria Cardinalli. Learn how art conservator Cynthia Lawrence brought the hidden beauty out of 12 of the paintings. Craft a take-home ramillete (paper flower).  Refreshments courtesy of the Women’s Board of the Museum of New Mexico.

Free with admission; Sundays free to NM residents, children 16 and under free daily.
