It houses over 75,000 pieces of Native American art, jewelry, and archaeological exhibits. The Museum of Indian Arts and Culture was once the seat of Spanish government in the southwest. Today, it is a museum dedicated to the history of the area and one of the oldest public buildings in the country. There is also a rotating exhibition series at SITE Santa Fe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The city&#8217;s central plaza is a lively, laidback place. Visitors can enjoy great art galleries, restaurants, and boutiques here. The Santa Fe Railyard is also a popular place for entertainment, including a regular farmer&#8217;s market and summer movies on the lawn. It is also home to the Santa Fe Rail Runner service. If you&#8217;re planning a stay in Santa Fe, make sure to consider the weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Plaza has been the hub of life in Santa Fe for over 400 years. You can visit markets and community gatherings on the Plaza. Along the Palace of the Governors wall, you&#8217;ll find artisans selling traditional New Mexican crafts. Over the past six decades, the City has allowed Native American crafts to be sold in Santa Fe. If you&#8217;re traveling with children, be sure to check out the museums and galleries devoted to Indigenous art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The city also hosts several art festivals. You can take in the unique light that makes the city&#8217;s art unique. Georgia O&#8217;Keeffe, the famous artist, discovered the unique light that reflects off the city&#8217;s architecture. Other world-renowned artists exhibit their work in Santa Fe galleries on Canyon Road. Upcycle Santa Fe also has several upcycling stores and events, including the International Folk Art Market, the Spanish Market, and the Indian Market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The historic Oldest House Museum is located on De Vargas Street. This is one of the oldest Spanish-era properties in the country. It features two rooms that teach about the history of Spanish-era buildings. If you are interested in art, Canyon Road is full of galleries featuring all types of art. You can find a variety of paintings, sculptures, and jewelry. The downtown area also has several restaurants and coffee shops. This is a great place to shop for souvenirs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The climate in Santa Fe is generally warm year-round. Because of its high altitude, it experiences all four seasons. The high temperatures in the summer are comfortable, while the lows dip below freezing. Winters are also cool, which is great for skiing or snowboarding. You can even visit the ski slopes in the winter months. If you want to avoid the high humidity, consider visiting during mid to late fall. You can also take advantage of great deals and pleasant weather during these two seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 70,000-strong Santa Fe population is home to a unique blend of cultures. The city was founded in 1607 and is the oldest state capital in the U.S. It is located in the foothills of the southern Rocky Mountains, and was officially incorporated as a state in 1912.
