The New Mexico History Museum began as the development of a storage facility for collections at the Palace of the Governors decades ago and has evolved into a first-class museum project, spurred by the national rethinking of the role history museums play in communities. They are no longer attics or basements full of long-forgotten objects. They are now places that partner in education, civic engagement, and social change. Hours 10 am 5 pm Tues. through Sun. Open Mondays Memorial Day–Labor Day. (Open til 8 pm on Friday) Admission $9 out-of-state visitors; $6 New Mexico residents Free on Sunday to New Mexico residents Free on Wednesday to New Mexico senior citizens Free to Museum Members and children under 17 Free Friday Evenings, 5 to 8 pm
