This is just one store of among 25 or 30 art galleries on Canyon Road said to be the most concentrated grouping of art galleries in the United States. This itself is just one of the areas of galleries, stores, and museums in Santa Fe New Mexico. Santa Fe is a world unto itself. Since real estate in Santa Fe is so valuable you'll find if you're a newcomer that parking is extremely competitive and finding an available restroom is a separate skill set
