Description

Venue: Phoenix Art Museum    When: Daily; not Mon

Phoenix Art Museum houses around 17,000 artworks by American, Asian, European and Latin American artists, both modern and contemporary, as well as western American art. Other displays include fashion design, the Thorne Miniature Rooms of historic interiors and ArtWorks, an interactive gallery for children.

Founded in 1959 as a private, non-profit educational institution, the museum prefaced its 40th birthday celebrations by, in 1996, completing a US$25 million expansion to make it the bigest visual arts museum between Denver and Los Angeles.

As well as the museum's extensive permanent collection (only around 1000 works are on display at one time), there are regular temporary exhibitions, talks and tours, lectures and public forums.
