They have a really amazing collection of textiles that illustrates the history of Navajo weaving. It's not the most extensive collection I've seen, but blankets fill the walls from top to bottom.

This place is a Tucson Gem! I loved the Buffalo Soldier exhibit by David Laughlin. I hope they keep it in the next rotation.

This unique museum is an absolute MUST SEE if you're visiting Tucson. Very well done , friendly staff, and extremely educational. A wonderful way to highlight The Sonoran Desert and all its majesty!

The Tucson Desert Art Museum's mission is to display art and artifacts of the Desert Southwest, and educate our guests about the history, cultures and art of the region.
At the core of the Museum is one of the Southwest’s premier collections of Navajo and Hopi pre-1940s textiles, including displays of chiefs' blankets, Navajo saddle blankets, optical art textiles and Yei weavings. The Museum also has a diverse range of historical artifacts and classic and contemporary Southwestern paintings.
