Albuquerque: a stopover for most, a discovery for some
For most visitors, Albuquerque is a gateway to Santa Fe or a dot on the map of the old Route 66. Those who pause long enough to inhale the towns character and history are surprised to find that Albuquerque has an appeal all its own, consisting of its distinct blend of cultures, a prestigious state university and proximity to natural attractions.
Places to see
Indian Pueblo Cultural Center
Run by an association of New Mexicos nineteen pueblos, this historical museum traces the development of Pueblo cultures from prehistory to the present. Exhibits encourage comparison of cultures through the examination of languages, customs and crafts.
Theres also an art gallery, a childrens museum, a gift shop selling authentic hand crafted goods and a restaurant serving Pueblo fare. The Center is just north of Old Town.
KiMo Theater
Downtown
Built in 1927 as a cinema, but sensitively restored and converted to a performing arts centre in the late 1990s, this theatre is a fantastic example of Pueblo Deco architecture, right on Route 66. The desert motifs just keep coming, and include log like ceiling beams painted with dance and hunt scenes and glowing-eyed steer skull light fittings.
National Museum of Nuclear Science and History
Cold War kids will go gaga at the range of atomic weaponry on show at this museum. This includes replicas of the innocuously named Little Boy and Fat Man, the bombs that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki, as well as a B 52 and B 29 aircraft, an F 105 jet, and numerous rockets and missiles.
