Reviews of Arizona State Museum (Museum)

Hugh Fletcher

A wonderful collection of all the native Americans in Arizona. Very educational for adults. Did not make time for a docent. Will do that next time. Combined with the UA art museum for a great afternoon.

Kyle McLemore

Many cool exhibits here that teach about the native cultures in and around Arizona.

Stephen Roberts

The website is rarely updated and has false promises of certain exhibits. The museum itself is decent I suppose but not very grand or large with some exhibits being written in a misleading manor. The museum needs to be updated severely and it needs funding. Also the staff weren't paying any attention to anything at all.

Ousawa Auditore

Paul Schulte

This is a great museum right on the edge of the UA campus. One section tells you at great length about the growth and demise of the Hohokam and the other part tells of the tribes still active in the Southwest. How they were originally, how outside influences affected them and how they are now. Fascinating!!!!

caroltannus

KA Millison

Learn human history of western coast of North America and focus on Southwest. Pottery/basket collection is exquisite. Good museum store for special gifts for friends and family.

Jack Baty

It's a little difficult to access because of crowds on campus, but worth the effort.

Marty D

very cool native exhibits, some a lil outdated

Robert Bischoff

One of the best archaeology museums

Lisa Hertel

Feel guilty if you're not Native American.

Andy Chesley

My son and I went several weeks back, and we both loved it. The facilities on the university campus are always immaculately kept, and full of history. My son loved the Native American exhibits, especially the pottery. Seriously, you're missing out if you don't take advantage of the university's facilities and explore what's around.

Joseph Godwin

Great facility with a comprehensive overview of Arizona's state history. Well worth the time.

Davide Amato

Very informative exhibit about the tribes of the Southwest, although it looks dated (early 2000s). I wonder if there's any updated information to be included? Anyway, heavily recommended to know the history of Arizona.

Edward Aplas

Great history of Arizona and the docents were engaging the visitors with a smile. Make sure you have a bit of time to see it all.

Arman Garcia

Very beautiful in presenting history, but it's all about native culture. Which is great, but I was also looking forward in other history categories.

Cameron Quinn

Larger collection than I expected, and it's beautiful!

Jean Saliman

The exhibit of Curtis' 19th C photographs of American Indians is very impressive. Too bad they're not part of our permanent collection

Barry Hunt

Well presented exhibits and very much information.

Sara Trask

This has a expansive collection of native American pottery they have.

Juan Trippe Aviation Pioneer and Founder Pan Am

Wonderful exhibits on pottery and weaving from the indigenous peoples we slaughtered.

James Maxwell

Love this place. Great kochina dolls exhibit on now.

Very nice museum, mostly outside Wildlife, desert ,rocks, reptiles and aquarium. Some of the animals were hidind, so you couldn't see them. Expect to walk

Mike Davis

Smaller than it looks. The upper floors are off limits

Steve Peterson

Always a WOW just like the U of A Museum of Art.

matthew hays

Nice American Indian exhibits

bilo hak

University/state research museum features lives and lifestyles of the southwest native Americans. Ten nations depicted in walk through display. Largest collection of native American pottery in the world. Permanent and temporary exhibits. Library available for research. Great gift shop full of arts and crafts. Serious rugs, jewelry, katsinas, books, reference materials. $5 entry fee well worth it. Entry free to gift shop. 17 and under, free. Memberships available offering lots of benefits.

Kufre Akpan

Truly exhilarating and fun!

Torrin Dufforsmith

This museum on the University of Arizona campus currently has an exhibit tracing the history of weaving textiles and baskets from roughly 4000BC to the present. It is very interesting as it traces the evolution of textiles and basketry from utilitarian to an art form. The focus is upon the Native American tribes in Arizona. The exhibit is suitable for children and adults. It's easy to spend 2-3 hours looking at the exhibits and reading the interpretive information. The museum also has an interesting display of Native American pottery.While you are on campus you should also visit the USS Arizona Memorial located in the quad behind Old Main. It is a sober reminder of the tragedy of December 8, 1941.

Azdimondkat Azdiamondkat

Very informative about the tribes here in Arizona. Well displayed and organized. We enjoyed the museum

Michael Shawn Hickey

The best SW Native American Exhibit .

Renate Kloppinger

Wonderful experience.

Thelma Finn

We loved the museum! The woman at the desk was very knowledgeable and friendly. I liked that there were places to rest as you went through the museum.

George Luft

They give the truest look at the Southwest history as possible. They also have the best display of the art of weaving. I will visit again and recommend it to everyone.

Laura Figueroa

(Translated by Google) Very pretty (Original) Muy bonito

Richard Wundrack

Interessante Ausstellung zu den verschiedenen amerikanischen Ureinwohner-Stämmen von deren Mythologie bis zu ihrer heutigen Situation kurz und prägnant zusammengefasst.

Mikey B

Amazing artifacts and displays . Learn about American Indian culture and see real artifacts . Very clean and nice inside and very comfortable couches to sit and relax.

Kimberly Paul

What a great museum! Beautifully designed displays of archeological artifacts. Wonderful maze designed display of local indigenous cultures. Very friendly and informative student docents. Katsinas, basketry, and a large collection of pottery. Handicap accessible.

FANTASTIC exhibits!! Top quality.

(Translated by Google) A very beautiful spectacular place (Original) Un lugar espectacular muy bonito

Richard Hintz

Summary based on one visit: --didn't have high expectations, but found the exhibits quite interesting --reasonable entry fee --parking in fee lot nearby --some very nice items in the store, especially better quality Hopi silver. Prices seemed lower and variety of higher quality pieces greater than some other places. If you're making a significant purchase, inquire whether it makes financial sense to join the museum for the discounts.

Rae

Lots of really cool information and history focusing on multiple Native American tribes.

Mikki Reinmuth

The museum was nice and the cost of 5 dollars per adult was an acceptable rate.

Papa Wead

Very interesting

Dylan Steffgen

Great museum. Definitely worth a visit.

Liz Kamerer

I really enjoyed the temporary exhibit and the depth of knowledge offered about local American Indian nations and history.

Sheldon Tegtmeier

Historic peices.

Robin Birdsong

I loved and learned. Fabulous way to spend 5 bucks

Octavio Fuentes

A Tucson gem. Right inside the University of Arizona main gate

John B

ASM had nice exhibits featuring the history of Arizona tribes. Some of the written exposition feels as though it has gone though the PC grinder before extrusion, but there's a decent attention to detail and there are a couple of nice, interactive exhibits for kids.

Chunfen Zhou

Feels a bit old, but the exhibitions are really focused and they feature some unique regional objects that are not easily seen in other museums.

Eric Holler

Excellent presentation of Arizona archeological, anthropological and historical story. The weaving is amazing! The story is told through artifacts, dioramas and artifacts that bring it to life. I should have been back sooner. A 5 minute walk from the inexpensive parking garage and modest $8 entrance fee. A better explanation of how to go through the exhibits would have helped.

Susan Armstrong

More physical specimens would be a great addition. It was very professionally done.

Sadie M. Joe

Fantastic & Educational.

Stacy Gorgie

Making Indian corn learning to weave at the basket exhibit

Claudia Colantonio

Questo è il museo antropologico più grande e più vecchio di tutta l’area southwest degli Stati Uniti. È stato molto interessante imparare la storia della tessitura e le cause della scomparsa degli Hohokam. C’è anche una grande collezione di ceramiche. È stato davvero interessante, quindi lo consiglio. Credo di aver impiegato circa un’ora per visitarlo tutto anche se non mi sono soffermata su ogni singola cosa.

Inés Fernando Vega López

(Translated by Google) Very nice place on the campus of the University of Arizona. Hosts an excellent collection and historical description of the native tribes of the Sonora-Arizona desert.

Nice displays and very informative on American Indian tribes and history. A part of American history that should never be forgotten.

Pablo Mtz

Este lugar describe bien el panorama cultural del desierto sonorense a través del tiempo.

Edgar Garcia

(Translated by Google) Very interesting, a lot of culture (Original) Muy interesante, mucha cultura

JuanDiego

A lot of stuff, you need to be aware of all the details

Russel Shaw

Well balbir525 a museum is almost never gonna be free. You've gotta pay something for them to stay on business. You must be one of those people who expects everything for free or in other words "something for nothing".

Merlin Manuel

Awesome place to visit.

Olivia Washington

Just, Wow. So much fascinating information, this museum is a real treat and I think every American should go just to learn a little more about the history and the countries ancestors. Really recommend.

Ken and Alicia Lund

Interesting museum.

lyle hurst

Top notch. Couldn't stand to read about the atrocities our culture has inflicted on the native people but the cultural displays are really well done.

AN SU

這個博物館提供許多當地原住民的歷史及文化資料，也有販售原住民藝術家的作品，是當地朋友推薦的博物館，大概花了快半天才看完，也對北美洲原住民被壓迫的歷史有更多了解，值得推薦。

Griffin Wiebel

Good exhibits that delve into the history of the area. While I'm not into history, I did learn a significant amount. The Shakespeare exhibit they had with the First Folio was quite incredible.

Patricia Coyne-Johnson

Great collection.

Nikki Galitski

Inexpensive little museum. Nice when you are pressed for time

Dan Schumacher

Extensive History of the Indian nations of the Southwest. Info on lifestyles, migration and tools. Large display of pottery and Hopi dolls. Has a conservation lab that can be visited.

Jason Champagne

The campus at UofA is nice to walk around, but considering it is hot as hell that only lasts so long. The museum is a nice respite from the blazing temps. The museum was also a participant in the Blue Star Museum initiative to allow military members access to select museums. Active duty military members need culture and this program provides an avenue for the defenders of our nation. The museum is centered around a maze of hallways depicting all the tribes of native cultures from Arizona extending south. The meticulous detail provided to explain the cultures was above reproach. There were multiple different media presentations about the different tribes. If you like pottery this is the place for you. They have an extensive collection of priceless pottery on display. The many different varieties and handiworks are on display.

Curt Byrd

A MUST VISIT!
