    This new history museum, under the auspices of the larger Museum of New Mexico, bears witness to the diverse forces that have shaped the landscape, peoples, and cultures of the region. Political and cultural history informs each interactive experience, giving visitors the means to study key artifacts while inviting them to experience the diverse tapestry of voices and points of view that make up New Mexico.

    “New Museum Showcases New Mexico’s Colorful History,” The Associated Press, Deborah Baker, May 14, 2009

    Interactive displays are an important part of the museum’s mix... [including] a sophisticated, bilingual exhibit on the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which ended the Mexican-American War and made New Mexico a U.S. territory. Highlighted portions of the treaty link to interviews with historians.
