The New Mexico History Museum is a statewide educational resource, a nationally significant local landmark, and destination for anyone who wants to understand the diverse experiences of the people of New Mexico, the dynamics that have shaped our state, and the relationships that connect our region with the rest of the world.

The program is mandated by state regulation (NMAC 4.51.57) to operate in a transparent, accountable, and equitable manner.

The Portal Program is one of the New Mexico History Museum's legacy programs, which reserves the portal for the display and sale of arts by members of federally recognized Native American tribes, pueblos, or nations located within New Mexico, all of whom display their art for nearly two million tourists each year. In doing so, the Museum continually contributes to the preservation of indigenous culture while providing learning opportunities to the visiting public through direct interactions with Native artists.
