3 reviews for Millicent Rogers Museum
This place had a real impact on me. Millicent Rogers had quite a collection of southwestern artifacts. This is one aspect of this place. The other was her taste in clothes and jewelry. Wow. Her collection of turquoise and exquisite pieces of native american style rival many large collections I've seen.
Another room to note was a collection of her drawings and a story. She was a mother of two boys. During times of illness (she had some serious health issues) she would work on a story book for her sons. The drawings are rather impressive and the story is quite good. They display it well.
Next, be sure to take a moment to visit the museum store. They have some unique pieces of accessories for the fashion minded.
True story- once my mom and I got in a fight and she left me here for hours. I managed to pass the time - Millicent was a pretty interesting type with the clothes, jewels, makeup (almost Dita Von Teese crossed with Georgia O'Keefe). My all time favorite part of the museum are the drawings she made for her kids. They are amazing/charming, and as a sign of mom-kid love, definitely helped soothe my wounded ego.
I really loved coming here. Its small, but a great place to go while in Taos, or worth the drive North from Santa Fe. Millicent Rogers must have been some woman in her time. She seemed to listen to the sound of a different drummer. I think her influence in southwest style clothing and jewelry is felt today. Her collection is beyond amazing. I came away wanting to copy her taste since it was so good! If you want to see a big collection of Native Indian pottery or jewelry this is your place. Include the Millicent Rogers museum on your trip to Taos or Santa Fe.
