overview : In the early part of the 20th Century, many artists were drawn to the Taos area to pursue a new, truly American art devoid of industrial influence, inspired instead by New Mexico's landscape and light and the traditional Native American and Hispanic cultures of the region. - In 1997, the Harwood Museum underwent a major 1.5 million dollar renovation project, expanding from two to seven galleries. The Museum continues to serve as a valuable resource for the region by its exhibition program and its growing permanent collection and by providing a research facility for many scholars, educators, authors and students. Since its creation in 1923, the Harwood has enriched the lives of many people and has played a vital role in the cultural life of Taos and northern New Mexico.
