Museums History and More

Travel through time as you visit Southern Arizona museums.

Museums in Southern Arizona cover everything from art and history to Western movie locations and native flora and fauna. The Arizona State Museum is home to the world’s largest and most comprehensive collection of American Indian basketry and Southwest Indian Pottery. Let your imagination take flight at Pima Air & Space Museum, one of the largest  museums of its type in the world.

The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum is one of the nation’s leading outdoor, living museums, featuring more than 230 animals and 1,200 varieties of desert plants and was recently inducted into the “Certificate of Excellence” TripAdvisor Hall of Fame.  One of the best reasons to visit is the drive – west on Ina through Picture Rocks and Saguaro National Park West. The views of the saguaro-covered hills are jaw-dropping.
