The life-size bronze sculpture Journey’s End, commemorating the Santa Fe Trail and the hardy mule teams that traversed it, marks the entrance to Camino Lejo, a strip of major exhibition spaces on Santa Fe’s southeast side.
With the Museum of Indian Arts & Culture just next door to the Museum of Spanish Colonial Art, it’s an interesting opportunity to compare the two depictions of New Mexican culture and history.
One of the city’s best tourist deals, a $18 museum pass, good for four days, grants access to three of the institutions on the hill (the fourth is free), as well as to the Palace of the Governors and the New Mexico Museum of Art on the plaza. You can buy it at any of the five participating museums.
Or buy a $12 pass to both the Museum of International Folk Art and the Museum of Indian Arts & Culture.
