Arizona State Museum

"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."

"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."

"Pros: Very interesting ancient pottery section, interesting section on basket weaving Cons: Very small, only a portion of the pottery section is dedicated to ancient pottery. I was very excited to visit this, but ended up feeling disappointed and that the $10 entry fee was not worth it. Even though I took my time, I was in and out in less than 1hr. It didn't help that one of their rotating exhibits was closed for rotation out. It would have really helped if they had some kind of notification about this on their website so I would have known to visit at some other time."

"I only wish it was bigger but it is inexpensive! The museum contains many new and old native American art and pottery. Good place to for a quick walk through. Takes roughly 30 mins to go through the exhibits if you read everything."

"Currently have 3 exhibits available for viewing (jewelry, woven material & ceramics). The largest collection of Native American history in the country. Their archive consists of both old and newer pieces. Good spot to beat the heat for a few minutes & free for catcard holders ($5 regular admission)."
