Their exhibits are always a pleasure to view. Cowgirl Up features some amazing women artists, and while I can never afford the purchase prices, we appreciate their abilities. The downstairs level gives one a feel of the old time Wickenburg. A must see when visiting the area.

This whole town is a must see - the old town part. The museum itself is just so well put together, with original artefacts of the period. You really feel immersed in it all. We had a super lunch in Nanas - lovely food and very busy - clearly a hit with the locals and business people who were coming... More

Have been vacationing in Wickenburg for the past 18 years and we love museums. This is the best western museum we have ever visited. Things are always changing there and we never miss an opportunity to tour this great museum. While in Wickenburg, make sure you leave yourself enough time to wander around the downtown area as well, saddle shops,... More

We took the kids to see the Cowgirl Up exhibit last weekend. The art was phenomenal. This is a little gem of a museum worth visiting if you have some extra time on the weekend and want something to do out of Phoenix. Very interesting permanent exhibits about the towns mining history. Kids will like it.

The volunteers were pleasant, the displays well done and the historical artifacts warmed my historian heart. No evening hours made our visit less convenient but the parking and proximity to the whole town was a plus.

This museum offers an amazing collection of Remingtons, the Wild West, Bola Ties, just to name a few things. We were blown away to learn how one man, a high-ranking corporate executive, donated so much to this museum after visiting Wickenburg's dude ranches. There are over 700 artifacts in their Cowboy Collection. Time well spent here. Loved it.

They offer many works of Western Art and a black light exhibit in the Gem and Mineral Room plus a Native American Room with tribal artifacts. Exhibits constantly change and the museum has a variety of programs and lectures throughout the year. Downstairs is a 19th Century street scene with the Vulture Saloon, general store, and a blacksmith shop. Do... More
