Phoenix Museums
The Valley of the Sun is home to over 73 institutions that we would classify as museums. These range from Museums about mining to Museums about beads. There is a Sports Hall of Fame and even a center for Meteorite studies.
Below we have taken the time to compile a list of local Phoenix Area Museums. Click on each museum name to be taken to a page with more information about it.
The Museums are organized into specific city areas.
Keep in mind that it is possible to get two free tickets to many museums throughout the valley by participating in the “Culture Pass” offered by the Phoenix Public Library. For more information on visit our page devoted specifically for the Phoenix Public Library Culture Pass.
