Arizona State Museum

Ignore reviews prior to 2020

Be aware that the bulk of the collection, the fascinating and informative "Paths of Life: American Indians of the Southwest" has been closed since 2020. A very limited group of interesting artifacts ...

Unless you like pottery and baskets, skip

Small museum with only three main areas -- pottery, basket making and jewelry -- on one floor. Was expecting more to tell the story of Arizona.

Is that all there is?

A few rooms of baskets and pottery and that's about it for $8 admission. For me, that amounted to $2/minute.

Small but in depth

In depth look at paleoindian 'crafts' to the present. The beauty and skill put into necessary items from pottery to baskets.

Extremely disappointing!!

We went because the museum is the home of the States premier pottery and photographic collections, but what you see is extremely limited. To begin with photographic collections are by appointment only...
