Albuquerque is a culturally rich community, due in large part
to the efforts of the City's Cultural Services Department. With 17 libraries, two museums, two performance theaters, a zoo, aquarium, botanic garden and popular fishing ponds, numerous large- and small-scale family-friendly events and activities, a vast array of public art, the historic plazas of Old Town, government television, and much more, our department sustains Albuquerque's quality of life at a high level for residents and visitors alike.
