Fun Facts

The KiMo Theatre, built in 1927, is a rare example of Pueblo Deco architecture, blending Native American motifs with Art Deco design.

Legend has it that the theater is haunted by the spirit of a young boy named Bobby, who died in a boiler explosion in 1951.

In the 1970s, the theater faced demolition but was saved by a community effort and is now a cherished historic landmark.

The theater is a venue for concerts, film screenings, and cultural events, making it a hub for Albuquerque's arts scene.

Inside the theater, there's a mural depicting the Seven Cities of Cibola, a nod to the region's rich history and mythology.
