Open to All: A Century of Access at the Special Collections Library
Friday, May 23 • 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
ALBUQUERQUE MUSEUM
2000 Mountain Road NW
Open to All: A Century of Access at the Special Collections Library explores the history of the building and recognizes the people who provided access to a world of learning for thousands of Albuquerque residents through books, ephemera, art, and photographs. The exhibition also places Special Collections in a broader context of libraries across the nation as they face challenges with providing open, free access to everyone regardless of gender, age, ability, citizenship, or housing status. This exhibition is organized by the Albuquerque Museum in collaboration with the Public Library of Albuquerque-Bernalillo County. Open to All: A Century of Access at the Special Collections Library is on view at Albuquerque Museum May 24 – November 2, 2025. READ MORE ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
