 Threads of Devotion: The Wardrobe of La Conquistadora
This lavish exhibit is more than mere clothing and jewels of a local religious icon, but rather a fascinating depiction of colonial, frontier, and modern life. The personal stories of the donors of these items encapsulate the changing times and fashions of the centuries; communal capes, military uniforms, and re-fashioned bridal gowns provide rare glimpses of New Mexican life--everything from the heart transplant survivor making a gown in thanksgiving to La Conquistadora, to actress Ali MacGraw's donation of regal finery. The stunning crowns, Byzantine crosses, necklaces from old mining camps, scepters, and other accessories cast a timeless spell of days gone by, portraying the struggle of faith in the New World, the syncretism of cultures, and the drama and pageantry of the American Southwest. Public opening of the first-ever museum exhibition of the historic garments, crowns, and jewels of Santa Fe's beloved religious icon, La Conquistadora. In celebration of the city's 400th anniversary, the nation's oldest Marian statue (circa 1448-1648) and her extraordinary clothing and accessories provide a fascinating portrayal of over four centuries of New Mexico’s history and legend.
