Arts of Democracy in New Mexico Mobile Museum Exhibit

At the library Saturday, March 28, 10am – 3pm

Celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence with the New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs’ mobile museum! Highlighting ideals of freedom and self-government embedded in the Declaration, this exhibition traces the development of those same ideals in New Mexico.

  • Touch objects created by New Mexicans to express their political perspectives.
  • Use a nib pen to compose your own “declaration” on parchment in the 18th-century writing style. 
  • Handle coin replicas and a military shield, symbols of Spanish colonial rule. 
  • Try on Mexican-style clothing, illustrating the period when New Mexico was part of independent Mexico, an enduring cultural connection. 
  • Learn to operate a printing press and make your own zine.
  • Try out a ranked choice voting simulator.
