A visit to the Museum of Indian Arts & Culture is an excellent introduction to the complexity and diversity of the Native American cultures of the region. Here, you can listen to the stories and songs that tell of origins and the long history of the Native people of the Southwest, witness the development of new forms of art, or learn about the contemporary lives and lifeways of the Southwest's indigenous populations.
The Museum of Indian Arts and Culture/Laboratory of Anthropology is a forward-looking institution that interprets and showcases the arts and cultures of indigenous people of the American Southwest. The Museum fulfills its mission by pursuing collections development and preservation, conducting public education and outreach, encouraging research, and creating temporary and permanent exhibitions. Through close collaboration with tribal communities the Museum seeks to honor Native traditions and inspire public appreciation of the unique cultures of the Southwest.
