Taos Art Museum opened in 1994. The museum is housed in the studio and home that artist Nicolai Fechin built for his family between 1927 and 1933. Fechin, born in Kazan, Russia in 1881, carved and molded the adobe buildings into a fascinating, harmonic marriage of Russian, Native American, and Spanish symbology. Fechin's heirs have entrusted many of his art works to the care of Taos Art Museum.
The heart of the museum is a collection of paintings by the masters of the Taos Society of Artists. This group was prolific from the arrival in Taos of Blumenschein and Phillips in 1898 through the 1930s. As a result of the acclaim these twelve artists and their associates achieved, many more artists migrated to Taos, continuing a tradition of creativity into the twenty-first century.. |

| Fishing Info: The Rio Grande Box above the confluence of the Red River is especially good in fall for rainbows and browns to 20 inches, some bigger. Can involve tiring hikes and difficult fishing. Local guides can aid anglers with no experience, especially for The Box. It is advisable when hiking into the Box to carry plenty of water as the trails along the canyon in the summer can easily reach 100 degrees. About 20 miles southwest of Taos on N.M. 68, there is easy access to the Rio Grande. Take N.M. 570 north out of Pilar for six miles of usually good fly- and bait fishing for rainbows and browns, some northern pike.
