From May through October 2017, Cathedral Park in Santa Fe will host a magnificent exhibition of 92 reproductions of masterpieces from the Museo del Prado in Madrid. The exhibition will be making its U.S. debut in Santa Fe and is only one experience of dozens in the yearlong, citywide “Santa Fe Celebrates Global Arts & Culture” festival.
