Description
Did you know that our Governor’s mansion is not only the governor’s residence, but also boasts a broad collection of nearly 40 pieces of world class museum art and historic furnishings reflecting the state’s cultural heritages: Native American, Spanish, Mexican, and American? This class examines both the history of our three governor’s residences, the role of today’s residence in presenting the rich multi-cultural history of New Mexico, and shows you virtual highlights of an actual tour.
