If you try to visit you will find only a few free parking spaces on the street which are taken. You will then need to secure parking around the Taos downtown. The parking machines won't work. The information screens won't advance. I finally started punching random buttons out of frustration and after changing lots. To my surprise the machine asked for my license plate number! So I was successful one time and I got one receipt for all of my attempts. But I was later charged FIVE times ! Two of the charges occured one week after leaving the state. The merchant number for parking charges goes unanswered. You will then have to contact city hall. I am still waiting to get the situation sorted out. Then, your visit will be shortened due to the time wasted on finding parking. I could not watch the short film on his life. And I would say a 5-6 dollar admission would be more befitting the site than 10 dollar.

Our visit did come with one disappointment that I hope the museum can help future visitors avoid..... A heads up for Mark Maggiori fans: * My husband and I drove two days from California hoping to see an original Mark Maggiori painting. * The Taos Art Museum is one of the first places that appears on Google when searching for where to view his work in Taos. * The museum's website and Google listing also suggested that his artwork was part of the collection. Unfortunately, after speaking with a docent, we learned that the museum hasn't displayed a Mark Maggiori painting in many years! They then referred us to try Parsons Gallery of the West, but they didn't have any of his work either. The gallery manager explained that Mark Maggiori is now representing himself and is no longer exhibiting locally. I completely understand that exhibitions change over time, but I would kindly encourage the museum to update its website and work with Google to correct this information. It would save other visitors from making a special trip expecting to see artwork that is no longer on display. In the end, I learned I probably should have called ahead, but I also trusted the museum's website and Google's information. Hopefully this review helps the next Mark Maggiori fan avoid the same disappointment. Despite that, the museum itself is well worth visiting. The Fechin House alone is an incredible piece of art and history!
