The museum envisions an exciting new space where changing exhibitions can take place on a larger scale; exhibitions will continue to showcase New Mexican arts and culture in exciting new ways, relating New Mexico to the larger Latino/Hispano communities within the United Stated and the rest of the Spanish-speaking world.
