Turquoise Museum

Terrific experience. Everything you could want to know about turquoise and then some. Very knowledgeable guide, and the setting in a wonderful old mansion was spectacular. Great place for tourists to go, but also a nice way to spend an afternoon for someone who lives here.

So worth getting the Curators Tour. Joe Dan and his family provide a special intimate window into their family and expertise with turquoise. Must see if in Albuquerque!

This Museum is amazing. It will teach you everything you need to know about turquoise. The castle is world class beautiful. The staircase and chandeliers are breathtaking. The displays of each and every turquoise imaginable will open your eyes to how beautiful a gem turquoise truly is. Staff are so pleasant and helpful. Gift shop sells nothing but the best REAL turquoise with certification. Went to the cafe for a romance cookie bar. Simply the best!! A great experience worthy of a couple of visits to take it all in. Cafe has a great menu and special brand of their own coffee. I would totally recommend taking out of town guest here to show them what Albuquerque has to offer. Awesome place!!👍🎶🌹💕

The tour rocked! ;-) Very informative and interesting historical perspectives.

It really was an informative and fun museum to visit. I recommend allowing two to three hours to visit the museum. There are over 100 beautiful chandeliers and thousands of magnificent jewelry pieces. Also, you can learn how to spot fake turquoise and the different kinds/mines.
