Founded in 1953 by Florence Dibell Bartlett, MOIFA has gained national and international recognition as the home to the world's largest collection of folk art from around the globe. The collection of more than 125,000 artifacts forms the basis for exhibitions in three distinct wings. The Girard Wing's popular permanent exhibition, "Multiple Visions: A Common Bond, " showcases folk art, popular art, and toys from more than 100 nations. The late Alexander Girard, who contributed his immense collection 1980, designed this unorthodox and delightful exhibition. The Hispanic Heritage Wing introduces the culture of Northern New Mexico, and its permanent exhibition, "Familia y Fe: Family and Faith," focuses on two of the strongest currents that continue to shape regional life.
