This June the Wonders on Wheels Mobile Museum brings its exhibit, “The Arts of Democracy in New Mexico” to libraries across the state. The exhibition honors the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and highlights ideals of freedom and self-government and how they have been expressed in art forms, particularly in New Mexico.
