26. Visit 5 Museums : Sangre De Cristo Art Center


With our membership to the Children's Museum, we also get free entrance to the Art Center/Museum!

Last week, after our visit to the museum, Skyler and I decided to take a walk through the art center! It's always fascinating to see the local art - they have a great permanent display featuring Western Themed pieces!

(It's easy to forget that we are living in the Great American West - since I grew up in the mid-west, and the focus on the Wild West wasn't so great there! We also live in an area highly populated by Native Americans, being so close to New Mexico.

This trip to the museum was fun for me because I really realized the cultural differences between Nebraska and Colorado - and it was comparing this trip to the Sheldon Gallery in Lincoln that helped to drive that home.
