Museum of Northern Arizona

Located in Northern Arizona’s Colorado Plateau, the Museum of Northern Arizona pays tribute to the region’s rich culture and diverse natural wonders. Since its establishment in 1928, the museum has been showcasing a fascinating array of permanent exhibits. These exhibits cover a wide range of topics, including Native American contemporary art and the geological marvels found across the expansive 130,000 square miles of the Colorado Plateau. In addition to its impressive permanent collection, the museum also hosts a rotation of captivating temporary exhibits.

The museum manages to offer an impressive number of exhibits and a wealth of information despite its compact size, according to travelers. It is recommended by some visitors to visit this museum before exploring the array of national monuments in the area, including Wupatki National Monument and the Grand Canyon, as it provides a comprehensive history of the Indigenous people who lived here. However, it’s worth noting that the museum primarily focuses on the Native American tribes of the region rather than the geology of Northern Arizona. Additionally, a few reviewers mentioned that the museum may not be the best choice for young children since there are no exhibits specifically tailored to engage them.
