As part of the seasonal festivities, the International Museum of Art has on display approximately 500 pairs of Mr. and Mrs. Santa Clauses.

This wonderful collection was donated to the Museum in 2007 by Mr. Paul Svetoka. Mrs. Svetoka collected and displayed this jolly couple in their home for many years. After her passing, Mr. Svetoka donated the collection to the Museum for the viewing and enjoyment of the El Paso community.

This collection is on display each December (check our calendar).
