Arizona State Museum

One of the great museums to visit in the state, AZ State Museum is situated right at the UA campus in Tucson. I can only imagine how fun this building must have been as a library, back in the day. I would recommend as an escape on a hot day. Nice exhibits, and a few occasional chances to peek 'behind the curtain' when it comes to the work done at a museum.

Very impressed with this museum. It was located on the Arizona University campus. The museum has one of the largest American Indian archaeology collection in the state of Arizona. The displays were impressive They had a nice exhibit of southwest Indian ceremonial masks and the information on weaving and pottery making was detailed. Could probably spend a whole day there, however we were short of time.

Small, but dense, exhibits featuring ancient and modern examples of pottery, baskets, and jewelry from regional Indian tribes. This is a research facility, so they have some incredible pieces, but it won't fill an entire day.
