Description

In 1893, nineteen years before statehood, the first anthropology museum in the Arizona Territory used to be created on the campus of the fledgling University of Arizona. Located in the small desert city of Tucson and at first occupying a single room, what used to be first referred to as the Arizona Territorial Museum had one part-time curator and has often grown during the last 120 years. Dedicated to the archaeology, history, culture, and arts of the peoples of Arizona and the Southwest, the Arizona State Museum is the oldest and largest anthropology museum in the region. It cares for the world’s largest collections of Southwestern Native American pottery, basketry, textiles, and fiber arts, all of that have been designated American Treasures. Its exceptional artifactual, biological, and documentary collections, maintained by an accomplished personnel and faculty, keep its programs at the leading edge of scholarly investigations even as providing public outreach to Arizona’s multicultural communities and visitors from world wide.
