A Peek Inside Santa Fe’s Meow Wolf Art Complex

Photo: Kate Russell Since last year, buzz has swirled around an art complex in Santa Fe, N.M., a former bowling alley converted into a blending of a “jungle gym, haunted house, children’s museum, and immersive art exhibit.” Meow Wolf is the production company behind the effort, and its crown jewel is the 20,000 square foot interactive art experience “House of Eternal Return.” In this post, we take a look inside the massive exhibit.

The group offers some hints at the narrative inside the House of Eternal Return: “There are dozens of rooms, secret passages and interactive light and musical objects with which guests can play for hours or investigate the mystery of the Selig family, who disappeared one night after conducting a forbidden experiment inside their Victorian mansion. Who were the Seligs? Where did they go? and why is their home overrun by figures in white lab coats?”

Less than two years ago, New Mexico painter Anthony Hurd completely changed the subject matter depicted in his paintings, focusing on themes which related to the artist on a more personal level.
