Dear Member:

You have only a couple more weeks to see Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, and Mexican Modernism; it closes on May 2 and goes back to Mexico. As of this week, more than 30,000 visitors have visited our clean, safe, beautiful museum to see these works of Mexican Modernism. We have been lucky to have been able to see these masterpieces in person.

Changes are afoot in Common Ground. Click on the video below for a mini-tour with Josie Lopez to see some of the new works in exhibition. Plan to use your Member promo code to come and see these new acquisitions installed in a freshly updated gallery. And while you're here, stop by the Museum Store to pick up a Mother's Day gift in excellent taste.
Through May 2, use your member promo code AMFDIEGO21 to purchase your half-price ticket online.

A Message from Albuquerque Museum Director Andrew Connors
"During the run of Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, and Mexican Modernism, the Museum instituted temporary procedures to keep visitors and staff safe. With a limited visitor capacity at 25% of normal, it was important to prioritize visitors who wanted to see the highly popular temporary exhibition. Creating a separate visitor category for those not wishing to visit the Mexican Modernism exhibition would have meant reducing the number of visitors who would have the opportunity to see this rare exhibition which frequently sold out. We are grateful for your understanding and helping us accommodate as many visitors as possible to see these masterpieces from Mexico. Thank you for your support."

This Member loves all the educational opportunities
"When I retired from Sandia Labs in 2014, I volunteered to become a docent at Albuquerque Museum. I support the Museum as a member as well. I love finding out ahead of time about all the opportunities at the Museum. I read the Member Magazine from cover to cover and plan ahead. The member emails are bite-sized gems of information and enhance my ability to be a good docent!

As we get older, keeping our brain engaged through learning and creative activities contributes to our overall health. Recently, I have signed up for the Creative Age art classes for students 55 and older. They have been amazing. Museum membership and participation is an excellent value—where else can we receive a quality local/national/international education for the nominal price of membership?" — Charline Wells, member since 2018
