Wonders of the Weavers/Maravillas de los tejedores: Nineteenth-Century Río Grande Weavings from the Collection of The Albuquerque Museum

An exhibition presented as part of the City of Albuquerque's Tricentennial celebration. For the Hispanic settlers of 19th century New Mexico, weaving was an important part of everyday life. Featured are thirty-seven of the Museum's most notable examples of Hispanic weavings including jergas, colchas and frazadas. Although originally made to serve a utilitarian function, these works reveal the artistic vision and attention to detail that characterizes fine craftsmanship. Includes a review of the historic collection by noted contemporary New Mexico weavers Irvin and Lisa Trujillo. Technical data for each weaving includes fiber and dye analysis. Additional discussion of looms, dyes, sheep industry, and tourism.

From the moment it opened in 1902, the Alvarado Hotel was a destination for travelers, a publicity stop for celebrities, and headline material for newspaper reporters. From its rise and glory to its 1970 demolition, this Fred Harvey hotel on the AT&amp;SF railway train route has been a vital part of Albuquerque history. Relive the memories of Harvey Girls, residents, and guests. Revisit the architecture, interiors and furnishings. Albuquerque's Alvarado Hotel is recreated in a way that time and demolition cannot erase.
