Adolph Bandelier Exhibition Phase II
Opening Friday, November 21, 2025, Miramont Castle’s Adolph Bandelier History of the Southwest Exhibition Phase II, featuring Bandelier’s illustrations from The Vatican’s archives and a bronze bust on loan from the New Mexico Museum of Art of Bandelier, modeled by Gutzon Borglum, famed sculptor of Mount Rushmore in South Dakota. This will be the first-ever public exhibition of a curated set of Bandelier’s illustrations presented to Pope Leo XIII, as a gift for his Golden Jubilee celebration on December 31, 1887. Archbishop Salpointe of Santa Fe conceived the idea of an illustrated History of the Southwest and commissioned Bandelier to produce the most original and scholarly gift for the celebration. Bandelier delivered a 1,400-page manuscript with over 500 illustrations of his archaeological discoveries in the U.S. desert southwest and northern Mexico.
