Santa Fe Found: Fragments of Time
Now celebrating its 400th anniversary and opening November 20, 2009 at the Palace of the Governors, Santa Fe Found: Fragments of Time explores the archaeological and historical roots of early Hispanic life in North America. This exhibition will give visitors a broad perspective of the settling of Santa Fe and the web of cultural influences the Spanish brought with them. The founding of Santa Fe is a big and complex story to tell.
Accompanying the exhibition is a symposium and lecture series. This exhibit features seven archaeologists on different periods of Santa Fe's history from ancient to modern times.
