Ranchos Plaza Grill




 These two murals are painted on the dining room walls of the Ranchos Plaza Grill in Ranchos de Taos.
If you like AUTHENTIC Mexican food, take a ride north of Santa Fe, view spectacular scenery on the High Road to Taos and stop in this cafe for a delicious meal.

Murals of Pueblo Indians

I innocently took photos of these five murals in July, 2008 when we visited Santa Fe for Spanish Market.  I obviously did not read the posted signs that prohibited photos (probably because they are in the courtyard).  During this stay when I've been more alert, I discovered to my dismay that I could not take photographs in any of the museums; being respectful of their rules, I refrained.  However, since I already have these murals on file from my previous visit, I thought it would be a shame not to post them...so here they are.  And please, my beloved Sante Fe,  forgive me my lapse in judgment.  It was not intentional and it won't happen again!!

"Will Schuster painted six murals on the north walls of the courtyard of the Museum of New Mexico in 1934. Painted on the height of the Great Depression, the murals honor the spiritual, ceremonial and agricultural traditions of the Pueblo Indians." (Description on a plaque in the courtyard of the museum).
