New Mexico CulturePass | New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs

New Mexico CulturePass

The New Mexico CulturePass is a single ticket to all state-run Museums and Historic Sites in New Mexico.

New Mexico stands out as a spirited blend of arts, history, literature, and lifeways found in few other places.

The joy of visiting New Mexico is getting to know us. And there is no better way to get acquainted than to explore our exceptional museums and historic sites. From Native artifacts to space exploration, world-class folk art to ancient dinosaurs, the essence of New Mexico is celebrated every day at our popular attractions. New Mexico CulturePass opens the doors to them all—the state's entire family of museums and historic sites.

How to Purchase

Purchase your CulturePass at any state museum or historic site. You can begin using it right away. On the date you visit your first museum or historic site, the pass will be validated, and it can then be used for the next 12 consecutive months.

Purchase by Phone

To pre-purchase a CulturePass, call Susan Hill at (505) 476-1126 with your credit card information and mailing address information. You will receive a CulturePass by mail within 10 days. 

Using your CulturePass

CulturePass allows one visit to each state museum and historic site. Passes are for general museum and historic site admission only. Films shown in museum theaters and certain special events and programming will incur additional charges. Passes are nonrefundable and are not replaceable if lost.

Please contact museums and historic sites to verify current hours.

Many locations are closed on Mondays, Tuesdays, and certain holidays. Don’t forget that many museums and historic sites offer free or reduced admission to children and seniors, and that some offer free admission to New Mexico residents on certain days of the week or month.
