User:Tillman/Poeh Museum

The Poeh Museum, founded by Pojoaque Pueblo in 1988, is devoted to the arts and culture of the Pueblo people, especially the Tewas of northern New Mexico. In Tewa, “Poeh” means pathway. The permanent exhibit Nah Poeh Meng (Tewa, "The Continuous Path") portrays Pueblo history from the Pueblo viewpoint, and features sculptures by Roxanne Swentzell and murals by Marcellus Medina of Zia Pueblo.

The landmark Poeh Center, completed in 2003, is widely recognized for its traditional Pueblo architecture and building techniques. Built of adobe bricks and local wood products, it houses the Poeh Museum, the Poeh Arts educational program, and administrative offices. The Poeh Tower is the tallest adobe structure in New Mexico.
