Traveling exhibits
can enable museums to provide communities with access to an expanded
base of collections, expertise, and new ideas. They can be used
to highlight aspects of your permanent collections and make it possible
to connect with your community in new ways. The results can be increased
attendance, new members and new supporters, and improved financial
stability.
New Mexico has the oldest tradition of traveling exhibits
in the United States dating from the time of the founding of the
Museum of New Mexico in 1909. The following list is an entry point
into the wealth of organizations around New Mexico and elsewhere
that have let us know that they have traveling exhibits available.
We hope that this will be an opportunity for you to jump into the
world cultural resource sharing by bringing exhibitions to your
museum and by making your own traveling exhibitions available for
others. If your organization has an exhibit that you would like
listed here contact sbarger@mnm.state.nm.us.
