Phoenix Art Museum

The Phoenix Art Museum is the largest art museum in the American Southwest, with a permanent collection of more than 19,000 works spanning American, Western American, Asian, Latin American, European, and fashion art across dozens of galleries. Founded in 1959, the museum has particular strengths in American Western painting, photography, and an exceptional fashion design collection that draws visitors from around the world. The Thorne Miniature Rooms - a series of extraordinarily detailed miniature period interiors - are a beloved and singular attraction. The temporary exhibition program regularly brings blockbuster presentations of international significance to Phoenix, making the museum central to the city's cultural calendar year-round.
