[Illustration: Spanish friar and soldiers] [Illustration: Museum of Navajo Ceremonial Art] Like Santa Fe is “different”, so are its museums. The Museum of Navajo Ceremonial Art, conceived and founded in 1937 by Miss Mary Cabot Wheelright, serves to preserve the art, culture and religion of the Navajo Indian race. Most famous are the sand paintings. [Illustration: Museum of International Folk Art] The Museum of International Folk Art displays, exhibits, holds lectures and demonstrates folk art and crafts from many countries and regions of the world. This cluster of distinctive buildings are located off the old Santa Fe Trail. [Illustration: Laboratory of Anthropology] Another unit of the museums of New Mexico is the Laboratory of Anthropology. Primarily a research center, the museum houses a collection of Indian pottery, textiles and jewelry. The San Miguel Chapel [Illustration: The San Miguel Chapel] THE OLDEST CHURCH STILL IN USE IN THE U.S. IS THE SAN MIGUEL CHAPEL. One can feel the original adobe altar, walls and floor of this structure built in 1610 by the Tlaxcala Indians under the direction of the Franciscan Padres. Restored, and hanging in the church are many fine old paintings, Icons and excellent wood carvings. The oldest bell in USA is there for anyone to touch and ring. The six-hundred-year old bell was brought from Spain having been cast in 1356. The casting contains silver and gold from the jewelry, rings and necklaces of the faithful from the village of San Jose, Andalucia, Spain. A Santa Fean, Senora Loreta Baca Ortiz, ordered the famous bell to be brought to San Miguel Chapel in 1712.

The family occupied this vast structure with main house, coach house, stable, chicken house and servants quarters; all around an interesting central patio.] Sena Plaza Courtyard [Illustration: Sena Plaza Courtyard] [Illustration: Fine Arts Building of the Museum of New Mexico] Note the inspiring flowing style of the FINE ARTS MUSEUM, on the Plaza in Santa Fe. The massive facade has six of the ancient Franciscan mission churches reproduced; all without destroying the unity of its appearance. They are: Acoma, San Felipe, Cochiti, Laguna, Santa Ana and Pecos. A central patio has shady cloisters, carved corbels and primitive pillars and vigas. Other historical and architectural features include the ceilings, floors, benches, carvings of the grills, the reproduction of the doors of Santa Clara and the Needle’s Eye, along with the great painting of St. Francis—all truly a work of art to display great art treasure.

Originally an Indian trail leading to the Pueblo of Pecos.] El Zaguan on Canyon Road [Illustration: El Zaguan] El Zaguan the charming old hacienda with the long passageway from the house-to-the-patio-to-the-garden.
