The Center rests on 11 acres in the heart of Albuquerque just off of I-40. Its circular form adorned by murals painted by renowned pueblo artists beautifully accentuates the architectural design of IPCC. Its interior plaza offers a peaceful respite for many travelers and serves as the central venue for many of IPCC's many activities held during the year.
About 200,000 people visit IPCC each year. Its central focus is a 10,000 square ft. museum of the authentic history and artifacts of traditional pueblo cultures and their contemporary art. The permanent exhibits highlight the creativity and adaptation which made possible the survival, diversity and achievements of each of the 19 Pueblos. The museum tour is guided or self-guided and includes historical films of famous pueblo potters and painters.
