Poeh Museum

[2] The museum is located in the Poeh Center, which is widely recognized for its traditional pueblo architecture and building techniques.

[8] There are roughly 600 artifacts of historical interest, which include paintings, jewelry, pottery, textiles, and sculptures of pre-European period to date.

The pieces are by local people as well as by young artists of the six Tewa speaking tribes which helps students under the Poeh Arts Program to learn and adopt their culture.

The figurines are made of very short stature with dark skin and with large wide eyes and round feet.

The history of the Pueblan people is depicted in a sequence emerging from Sipapu, past hunting and gathering period, to the initial practices of agriculture, and then through the Spanish Entrada and finally ending in a modern-day living room of a family.

[7] The permanent exhibit, Nah Poeh Meng ("Along the Continuous Path"[1]), was created by Mark Van Wickler and Iron Orca Studios of Washington State.

[2][3] In 2012, the Poeh Cultural Center began converstions with the National Museum of the American Indian to develop a partnership focused on the return of pottery by Tewa artists that had been in the Smithsonian Institution's collection to its native homeland.

This archive also provides information on the festivals of Pueblans, their dances, architecture, agriculture in addition to aspects related to economic development of Pojoaque.

[1][13] The museum archive holds about 10,000 photographs, ranging from early Edward S. Curtis prints to snapshots of contemporary Pueblan life.
