The Art Vault at Gallery One

Tucked inside City Hall at Civic Plaza, the City of Albuquerque converted a former municipal treasury vault into an experimental micro-gallery. The heavy steel vault door opens into an intimate single-room chamber reserved specifically for temporary interactive, sound, and media installations by local artists.

The move: Walk through the massive open steel vault door into the tiny experimental installation room inside City Hall, then take a quiet loop around Civic Plaza.
