if you like looking at pieces of turquoise and various ways to use it, then you'll like this museum. I was more interested in the Castle and its history, and was very disappointed. Museum staff either knew nothing of Gertrude Zachary, or wouldn't 'talk'. Isn't her story a part of Albuquerque? Also, the overhead music was very annoying and did not fit with the displays or the environment.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Since our founding in 1993 we have worked very hard on our displays to "Showcase The World's Most Colorful Gem". We are glad you enjoyed the displays. I'm sorry we don't display the information you were looking for, The castle was built in 2008 for Gertrude Schmidt, We are working on a guided tour on the castle architecture. The building that holds our gift shop and cafe has a really cool history, it was built in the late 1800's and has been a blacksmith shop, a buggy show, an art supply store, several artists' studios (Including R.C. Gorman's), an antique store, a building supply store; and we are still doing research on what other uses it had.

My two girlfriends and I enjoyed the class and the exhibit so much! We all learned more about turquoise and where it is found than we thought. Very informative. I recommend this place 100%. The lunch at your cafe was excellent too! Very friendly bunch! Will go back!

My friend and I took the tour and class. Both were very enjoyable and educational. Jacob was extremely knowledgeable and answered all questions professionally and with a bit of humor—family history included. The castle is exceptional as are the exhibits. Making plans to take my husband and view the test of the exhibits. The gift shop and cafe are a very nice addition. Definitely recommend!
