Stop Here To Shop
Between its outdoor collection of architectural pieces and two-level building full of rugs and home furnishings, Seret & Sons occupies just about a whole city block. Across the street, breeze through Lucille's brightly colored clothing, especially the flowing skirts. For art or gifts from all over the world, squeeze through the tight aisles at both locations of Fourth World Cottage Industries. One focuses on Latin American imports and the other on Asian.

The Art Scene
A gallery owner on Canyon Road puts it this way: "We're one step behind New York, but only New York." Yes, you will sniff a sense of entitlement when gallery-hopping, but you'll also discover many genres. Find contemporary paintings and sculpture at Winterowd Fine Art as well as high-end traditional works at the Zaplin Lampert Gallery, featuring artists of Santa Fe, Taos, and the American West.

You cannot visit Santa Fe without paying homage to the famous painter at the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum. The museum boasts more than 1,000 of her works.
