How the 15 mile rule works in New Mexico
NARM does not apply within 15 miles of the institution where you hold your membership, and in a state this shape that matters differently depending on where you joined.
- IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts members lose 6 of the other 19 places in the state to the exclusion, and keep 13.
- Roswell Museum members keep all 19 of the other places in the state, because nothing else on the list falls inside the radius.
- New Mexico Farm and Ranch Heritage Museum members keep all 19 of the other places in the state, because nothing else on the list falls inside the radius.
Planning a trip around New Mexico
Santa Fe is the busiest single base: 7 of the 20 are within 25 miles of it, so one day out covers 35% of the state list. Another 8 sit more than 100 miles away, and the list spans about 238 miles end to end, so the rest is a second trip rather than a detour.
