Field Trip Season

This time of year there are many field trips taking place in the mornings at AZMNH. If you would like a quieter experience we recommend coming after 12:00 PM.

Arizona and the Movies - Permanently Closed

The Arizona and the Movies exhibit has been deaccessioned and the artifacts-including the stage coach-have been transferred to the Mesa Historical Museum. The gallery space has been repurposed for an interesting new gallery focusing on prehistoric mammals - Mammal Hall: Why aren't they here now? exploring the extinction of Arizona's megafauna. 

Follow us on social media for periodic updates on the renovations. For information on the transfer and exhibition of the artifacts previously in Arizona and the Movies please contact the Mesa Historical Museum.
