Ernest L. Blumenschein House

We were not impressed at all with the museum. The attendant at the front was not wearing a mask despite the ongoing state mandate. The museum itself was amateurish. Few paintings were given context or explanation, and in one room it was clear that previous title placards were placed directly on the plaster as stickers, damaging the plaster and leaving some of the stickers on despite partial removal. Many of the explanatory placards contained gramatical errors. That said, it was interesting to view the old building. Just don't expect an educational experience.

Very quiet day at the museum. You get a map of the home/museum and you are free to walk around by yourself. Everything feels ‘authentic’ and if you are a fan of Taos artists, this is a good place to visit. I liked it very very much.

Luisa at front desk very friendly. Glad she wasn't wearing a mask to please the male and female Karen's. Museum is a big disappointment; amateur art on display, not much to see. Outside, gardens are a wasteland of neglected flowers and an abundance of weeds. Prune the apple tree, it's been grafted and has good apples.

I love this little museum! I bring all my out of town guests to visit it. It's such a sweet little spot on earth where one can experience the feeling of a majical time when things where simpler and people had to use their imaginations to find joy in life. This visit I just sat outside in the delightful garden while waiting for my santa fe friends Who immensely enjoyed this special little museum.😊

A few rooms explaining the life of the artist. The entrance fee is pricey. It would be nice if the attendant wore a mask, like at other Santa Fe museums.

Admittedly an experience best appreciated by Taos history buffs and fans of Blumenshein's work (little of which resides here); I was enthralled prowling through this master's memories. Quietly informative.

Step back in time and imagine life of an early Taos Artist and his family of artists. Excellent examples of other artists as well from the early 1900's

Very interesting insight and views of early life

Cool stop right off the Taos Plaza. This former artist's residence was one of the birthplaces of the Taos community of artists. Doesn't take very long to walk through, but presents a nice collection of early southwestern art as well as a window into daily lives a century ago.

This museum and home was astonishing. Both Blumenschein and his wife were painters, really, really talented painters. The home itself was a work of art...the decorative details astounded. And, the book collection warmed this literature major's heart. An entire set of O. Henry's! A treasure.

Wandering on my own for the afternoon. Ladies readying the courtyard garden for winter. This house reminds me of Monet's house in Giverny: a personal collection of art by family and friends. Rooms and furniture painted/decorated by the Blumensheins. Locally made furniture, builtins designed and decorated by the family. Lovely old textiles. A wonderful collection and a breathtaking collection of local art. Relax and enjoy.

Since i am an admirer of the Taos Society of Painters and its paintings,I enjoyed this miniscule art museum that had quality paintings by Ernest Blumenschein,his wife,Mary Blumenschein,and Blumenschein'sTaos Society of Painters associates(Bert Phillips,E.Irving Couse,Leon Gaspard).This museum also depicted the history of how Taos has evolved into a haven for artists.My favorite painting in this cozy museum was Ernest Blumenschein's"Railway Yard Meeting")

Decent museum, not worth the admission price (at the time of writing kids were $6 a piece and adults were $8 a piece).
