Museum staff are currently collaborating with local organizations and community members to develop a new exhibition that utilizes the interlinked themes of trade, transportation, and industry to provide visitors with a unique take on the history of Bernalillo, allowing them to determine the ways in which location has shaped their community. To accomplish this goal, the exhibition will be divided into four timelines that acknowledge major milestones or periods of transformation within the region, and allow visitors to consider what the future might look like.
The Power of Place exhibition is intended to be part of a larger exhibition series that focuses on the location, culture, and innovation of Bernalillo, New Mexico. These exhibitions will be designed to provide community members with a connection to their past, a better understanding of their present, and an active participation in their future.
