Not a museum for big name art, but showcases a lot of local artists, and some if that is rather good and/or thought provoking. Don't go expecting Euro or American masters, but rather something that has its roots in the Southwest (and fairly extensive Latin American collection). Appreciate for what it is and you will enjoy.

For starters the parking is easy and free. The current featured exhibit CUMBI focuses on Andean textiles. While that might not sound like much it was very interesting. Beyond that we were impressed by how diverse the exhibits and collection were. The curation everywhere was excellent so do leave plenty of time. Then visit their excellent cafe!

What a gem of a place to visit in downtown Tucson. We took a tour with a wonderful and knowledgable docent named Lewis. He is the best docent I have come across in all my years of travel. He is ability to make the art come alive is uncanny. A trip to this museum is well worth it.

This is a must visit museum. The art and sculptures ranging from Navajo art to contemporary artists captivates you as you spend hours going from one room to another. Before or after spending some great hours at the museum you must visit the museum cafe. We had breakfast there. So filling and delicious that we skipped lunch entirely and spent the whole morning and most of the afternoon satisfying our appetite for great art.
