Chasing Santa Fe: MEOW WOLF - THE HOUSE OF ETERNAL RETURN

IS DAZZLING!

One hundred and fifty artists comprise the MEOW WOLF collective and for the past eight years they have been producing wildly-creative pop culture projects and installations around Santa Fe.

Two years ago, this band of art renegades received a three-million dollar plus gift of a 20,000 square foot abandoned bowling alley including renovations - the first step in realizing a mega MEOW WOLF dream.

THE UBER-GENEROUS BENEFACTOR? Santa Fe's own GEORGE R.R. MARTIN, author/creator of "GAME OF THRONES" and burgeoning philanthropist. The collective raised another 2.7 million dollars and 18 months later, with artists and technicians working at a fever pitch, the amazingly-wonderful theme park/interactive art installation and blow-your-mind destination opened its doors.

This mysterious Victorian house is your portal into the delights that await. Each room holds secrets to the fictional owners of the house, the Selig family, and as you wend your way through the two-story home, you gather clues that reveal their story.

CLUES...CLUES...CLUES..

But I just loved wandering through and observing its strangeness -buckled floors, wavy molding on the walls that looks like it has melted, and a refrigerator that opens to reveal a passage into the amazing spaces beyond the house.

Or, if you choose, you can exit through the fireplace or the toilet in the bathroom (yup!) to continue your journey into the warren of surreal rooms and walkways that MEOW WOLF artists have articulated so joyfully.
