This is the ticket booth and entrance to the KiMo Theater. The KiMo is a 1927 Pueblo Deco style vaudeville and movie theatre and registered Historic Landmark. It is owned by the City of Albuquerque. Hundreds of tourists visit the KiMo each year to view its elaborate Pueblo Indian ornamentation and the famous Von Hassler murals. (Here's the website, where you can take a look at a "virtual tour" of the theater.)

Very cool - do they still show movies there?
Hi Sara. Yes, there are "artsy" films shown there. For instance, this month will be the Italian Film Festival. There are also live performances there. It's a well-used venue for the city.
How cool! Very pretty, lucky you, getting to use it!
What a beautiful building, thanks for sharing it with us. I will check out the link for the virtual tour later.
You are so lucky! Modern movie theaters, by contrast, are so hideous. This looks fabulous!
What a neat looking interior. Thanks for sharing.
