Museum of Northern Arizona

Founded in 1928, the Museum of Northern Arizona is one of the most significant natural and cultural history museums in the American West, and its art collections are extraordinary. The museum holds one of the world's finest assemblages of Hopi, Navajo, Zuni, and Pai pottery, weaving, jewelry, kachina carvings, and fine art — a collection built over a century of sustained engagement with the Indigenous communities of the Colorado Plateau. Annual Heritage Festivals celebrating Hopi, Navajo, Zuni, and Pai culture draw artists, scholars, and collectors from across the country. Set on a beautiful pine-forested campus at the base of the San Francisco Peaks, it is essential visiting for any serious student of Southwest art.
