Bring your student id for discounted entry. Try do a tour as it does help to hear someone talk, then wander around. The sculptures outside are amazing.

Went here for a class assignment. It was unlike any other museum I've been in before. Located just down the street from Downtown Phoenix campus if you're looking for something to do in the afternoon.

Debra Vedder

The current Frida and Diego exhibit is exceptional. It includes paintings by both artists and a collection of photographs . The museum 's collection of Southwest history and culture is also impressive.

Brian Bell

This is a museum you won't find anywhere else. American Indian culture displayed within walking distance of the light rail . Kids 5 and under are free so it's a great family activity.

The museum has more art pieces of Native American culture and history than I would have thought of it. The best way to learn more about the culture is to attend a tour within the museum .
