Featuring a massive collaboration between Texas and Santa Fe based artists, Meow Wolf Grapevine expands into a new era of art and storytelling. ‍The small mountain town of Santa Fe hides a secret straight out of science fiction. An unassuming building in the city’s industrial district is a nexus of colorful, chaotic portals that take explorers to worlds they’ve only seen in their wildest dreams. Meow Wolf’s House of Eternal Return is a unique art experience featuring an astonishing new form of non-linear storytelling that unfolds through exploration, discovery and 21st century interactivity. The exhibition follows the story of a family and the loss of a relative "Lex." Each family member has their own story to tell within the walls and papers throughout the house. The house is analysed by an organisation called "The Charter" due to a cataclysmic event surrounding the house involving the multiverse.

‍Some of y’all may have seen this spider hanging above our beloved arcade. Understandably, a lot of you probably thought it was a fun quirky little surrealist piece. It’s definitely surreal but it’s a direct reference to a little-known science fiction novel called Perdido Street Station by China Miéville. The Weaver is an interdimensional spider, traveling through timelines and snipping away what they see fit in a chaotic pursuit of their own aesthetic design while speaking solely in freeform prose poetry.

Kadlubek had worked with Martin for a time to promote the Jean Cocteau Cinema, a Santa Fe theater the author owns. Knowing it was a longshot, he emailed Martin, asking if he would consider purchasing an abandoned bowling alley. The House of Eternal Return has been compared to a haunted house without ghosts, an amusement park without rides and a choose-your-own-adventure book come to life. You’re encouraged to read the family’s diaries, thumb through their photo albums and poke around on their computers to uncover clues explaining their disappearance. I was told there could be clues to the family’s disappearance in the mail, but unsure what to look for, I turned my attention back to the house. It’s an actual, functioning house where everything works except the plumbing.

It feels like stopping by to say hi to a neighbor who doesn’t mind if you grab a drink from the fridge. Plan on spending at least two hours inside the House of Eternal Return. I visited as a media guest when it was closed for maintenance and upgrades, and even without the crowds, I barely had time to walk through the attraction in an hour, let alone dig into the mystery.

The temporary exhibits, like The Due Return at Center for Contemporary Arts Santa Fe, grew to be so popular that a larger, permanent location became inevitable. Meow Wolf has been creating unique environments for the past 10 years, beginning with forts in a rented warehouse that became increasingly elaborate and led to The Due Return, a time-traveling, intergalactic spaceship. The 10 rooms inside the 75-foot long by 25-foot wide ship held artifacts, images, and stories from 200 years of exploration. Meow Wolf House of Eternal Return is just as fun as an immersive sensory experience.

Meow Wolf House of Eternal Return puts this artistic talent to use in an entertaining, interactive art exhibit unlike anything we’ve seen before. These are our best tips for visiting Meow Wolf Santa Fe, but won’t spoil the fun of discovering hidden secrets when you visit.

Although there is no time limit for your visit, there is a strict no re-entry policy. While waiting we saw tons of people sprinting across the parking lot running backpacks back to the car. For more security there are also pay lockers inside to store backpacks. My favorite part was finding all the seemingly boring parts of the house that are actually entries into the multiverse. Stepping through from the real world into the unknown was joyful fun for someone like me normally rooted in the mundane. ‍This is, in our opinion, the most iykyk (if you know you know) rooms in the entire exhibit.

A tall red robot holding a purple flower blinks and his beating “heart” makes you feel instantly connected and curious to see more. Santa Fe is the oldest state capital and the third-largest art market in the United States. Draped in rich Pueblo-style architecture, and picturesque vistas of desert, forest, and mountains, it’s safe to say that Santa Fe, New Mexico’s enchantment is very dear to our hearts.

My guide told me it’s not uncommon for visitors to spend hours reading one of Selig family’s diaries or flipping through papers on one of their desks. One family of visitors even spent an entire day, from opening until closing, trying to solve the mystery. I recently headed to the House of Eternal Return, a new visual art exhibit in Santa Fe, New Mexico to find out what happened to its occupants, the Selig family.

Our merch shop is filled with tees, plushies, stickers and impulse purchases galore created by artists. According to a preliminary investigation released Friday by the Committee to Protect Journalists, nearly 100 journalists have been killed covering the war in Gaza. Israel has defended its actions, saying it has been targeting militants. Chants accused U.S. journalists of undercovering the war and misrepresenting it. "Western media we see you, and all the horrors that you hide," crowds chanted at one point.
