Museum of Indian Arts and Culture / Woven Identities
Basketry Art from the Collections, Oldest Dates to 1200. All objects tell a story, if you know the right questions to ask. At the time the baskets in this exhibition were collected little to no information was recorded; the weaver’s names are largely unknown. Nonetheless, each basket has an identity, a woven identity. The identity of each basket—where it was made; when it was made; who made it; who it was made for; why it was made—by “reading” its individual characteristics. Admission: $6 for New Mexico residents, $9 for nonresidents. Sundays are free with New Mexico I.D. $1 student discount.

The New Mexico History Museum / 47 Stars
The United States Flag Act of 1818 set forth a rule that no new stars could be added to Old Glory until the Fourth of July immediately following a state’s admission to the union. Thanks to that once-a-year-and-only-once-a-year mandate, New Mexicans hoping to share their pride at becoming the 47th state were essentially forced into committing their first illegal acts as U.S. citizens. New Mexicans wanted a flag of their own showcasing 47 stars, not 46 and certainly not Arizona's 48.
