Welcome to Old Santa Fe Trail / Museum Hill
The name "Museum Hill" comes from the concentration of museums located on this elevated mesa. Beginning in the mid-20th century, the area was thoughtfully developed as Santa Fe's premier cultural campus, celebrating the diverse traditions of Native American, Spanish Colonial, folk, and international art. Today, it stands as one of the Southwest's most respected cultural destinations.
Today, Museum Hill is known for:
• Four world-class museums showcasing Native American, Spanish Colonial, folk, and regional art
• The Santa Fe Botanical Garden and beautifully landscaped sculpture gardens
• Panoramic views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and the Santa Fe valley
• Easy access to Canyon Road, Historic Eastside, and Downtown Santa Fe
• Educational programs, lectures, exhibitions, and cultural events throughout the year
• A peaceful setting that blends art, architecture, history, and nature
Museum Hill offers a truly distinctive Santa Fe lifestyle, where culture, natural beauty, and history converge. Whether enjoying an afternoon at a museum, exploring the botanical gardens, or taking in the surrounding mountain vistas, residents and visitors alike experience one of Santa Fe's most inspiring and treasured destinations.
