About this event

The Campus Tour tells the three stories of the School for Advanced Research (SAR): the organization, the Indian arts collection, and the campus. The nineteen-acre campus on Santa Fe's historic East Side includes about a dozen buildings dating from the early 1900s to the 1990s. Features include buildings, designed by three prominent Santa Fe architects, a gazebo designed by John Gaw Meem, a billiard house, a dog kennel turned into an archaeology lab and press building, and artworks by Native artists and notable Santa Fe neighbors including Gustave Baumann. Today, SAR is a nexus of scholars, artists, creative thinkers, and curious learners.

Tours run 1.5 to 2 hours.

Tours are $15.00/per person.
