Harwood Museum is a Blue Star Museum

The Harwood has a number of Exhibitions this summer around the theme "Return to Sacred Places".  Of note is a lnadmark piece "Winter Funeral" by Victor Higgins along with other work by the original eight artists of the Taos art community.

Another exhibition includes Taos Pueblo Photographs.  The Pueblo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has provided many photos over the years.  This collection has been accumulated over twenty years and includes a number of rare and old works.

Gene Kloss From Berkley to Taos is an exhibit of Ms. Kloss' life long print making endeavors.  The largest body of work was created in  Taos after 1970.

"Sacred Navajo Sandpaintings: Rendered in Wool" is the fourth exhibit.  Capturing the sand painting images in wool rugs is a spectacular show.

Harwood joins over 700 museums in all 50 states in participating in the Blue Star Museum program.  The program offers free admission to all active military personnel and their families from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
