Sena Plaza Courtyard

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.
