The Museum proposes to develop a number of multi-cultural circulating exhibits based on the Museum's long experience in research and exhibition of various phases of Southwest Indian, Hispano-, and Anglo-American cultures. The prime objectives of the exhibits will be to help visitors to become aware of that unique American unity which has been achieved through the diversity of its cultures, to make observers away of each cultural group's contributions, and to instill a respect for all groups through a meaningful and interpretive display of their crafts, artifacts, and other examples of their culture.
