About Indian Pueblo Cultural Center

The Indian Pueblo Cultural Center (IPCC) in Albuquerque, NM serves as the Gateway to the 19 Pueblos of New Mexico, offering comprehensive cultural experiences through its museum, galleries, library, archives, and educational programming. Located on nearly 80 acres of land owned and governed by the 19 Pueblos District, IPCC provides visitors and community members with authentic access to Pueblo culture spanning from ancient times to the present day. The facility features extensive exhibition galleries including the permanent exhibition "We Are of This Place: The Pueblo Story," rotating contemporary exhibitions, and a remarkable collection of more than 20 murals by renowned Pueblo artists that vividly convey the seasons, dance, harvest, agriculture, and animals integral to Pueblo life. Beyond its museum offerings, IPCC operates the Indian Pueblo Kitchen, an innovative teaching kitchen and restaurant centered around Indigenous foodways and education, and the Indian Pueblo Store, featuring traditional and contemporary jewelry, pottery, rugs, and authentic Native American art from award-winning and emerging artists. The Center's education department provides programs and events celebrating Pueblo culture, while the library and archives preserve important cultural materials. Situated in the heart of Albuquerque's cultural and business district near 12th Street and Interstate 40, IPCC functions as a vibrant gathering place where Pueblo culture is celebrated through creative experiences while providing economic opportunities to Pueblo and local communities. The organization is governed by leadership representing the Tribal Councils of the 19 New Mexico Pueblos, ensuring authentic cultural stewardship and community-centered operations.
