Arizona State University Art Museum

The Arizona State University Art Museum has maintained one of the most distinguished collections of any university art museum in the American West since its founding in 1950, with holdings of over 5,000 works spanning American art from the colonial period to the present, a significant craft collection including studio ceramics and fiber art, Latin American art of genuine depth and quality, and a growing contemporary component that reflects ASU's active engagement with artists and ideas at the leading edge of the field. The museum's central Tempe campus location makes it easily accessible and admission is typically free, making it one of the best value cultural destinations in the Phoenix metro area.
