Tucson Museum of Art
Downtown Tucson · Tucson, Arizona
Founded in 1924, the Tucson Museum of Art is the oldest and most comprehensive art museum in southern Arizona, with permanent collections spanning pre-Columbian art and artifacts, Spanish Colonial furniture and devotional painting, American Western art, modern painting and sculpture, and contemporary work by regional and national artists. The museum's historic campus in downtown Tucson encompasses several 19th-century adobe structures alongside the main museum building - a spatial arrangement that gives it an architectural richness and sense of historical rootedness unique among Arizona museums. The Folk Art of the Americas collection is particularly distinguished, and the museum's changing temporary exhibitions regularly bring significant work from national and international lenders to Tucson audiences.
