Millicent Rogers Museum
The former home of socialite collector Millicent Rogers, now a museum of Native American jewelry, textiles and pottery from the American Southwest.
Socialite and designer Millicent Rogers settled in Taos later in life. She collected large numbers of Navajo and Pueblo turquoise silver jewelry, blankets, basketry and pottery, along with black pottery by Maria Martinez of San Ildefonso Pueblo. The museum is housed in her adobe home. It is small but rich in masterpieces, and it is a fine place to learn about the art of Southwestern Native peoples. Admission is about US$15, and the museum is closed on Mondays in winter. It lies about 6 kilometers from the plaza.
Opening hours
