Mary and Ernest Blumenschein, along with other artistic Tao residents, created the Tao Society of Artists which helped establish Tao’s reputation as an art colony. Their house, where they lived for about forty years, was originally a series of small rooms with shared exterior walls. Parts of it are over 300 years old. By cutting in doorways the Blumenstein's connected nine rooms to make a spacious, rambling house. The house contains original furnishings and paintings by the Blumenscheins and their friends.
The house is not accessible due to steps and narrow doorways.
Taos is not an easy city for wheelchair visitors. Many curb cuts are steep or missing. We also encountered sidewalks with steps and light posts blocking the way.
Free RV parking is located in a lot on Cam De La Placita. Follow the RV Parking signs from US 64. Museum
