It provides a good introduction to the geology, archaeology and native culture of the area. It has a great, if somewhat expensive, shop, too.

You can go through the whole museum in a few hours, but there is a lot of information on the various tribes of the whole area. Check out special weekends highlighting Zuni, Hopi, Navajo tries - very interesting. Great museum shop too.
This place always amazes me, they pack in so much in what appears to be a small space. The displays range from the geological to biological to archaelogical to fine arts.

excellent museum, particularly the geology section. very nice location too - you can walk round it, and the town folk museum is also close
This is a superb museum that gives well curated information about the tribes of Indians occupying the southwest United States. The displays are elegant. The museum hosts temporary exhibits as well. While we were there, we saw one on the mountain lion and another displaying paintings made by women in the early 20th century. There are several delightful Wright-ish areas...

First, I did not take the guided tour...that might have raised this rating. Highlights were the story of Tim's Cave, women of Arizona display, mountain lions in Arizona exhibit, and Lillian Smith paintings. Beautiful presentation of items. Book Store volunteers need to beef up on their knowledge of the museum.
An excellent overview of northern Arizona from pre historic to the present. Tells you a lot about early Native Americans with pottery examples etc. We saws a great exhibit on mountain lions. Also a most interestinbg exhibit on early 20th century women artisits.
We have been to all of the major and a lot of the minor Native American museums in the Southwestern US. This one is our favorite. Nice gift shop, a play area for kids, and a nice display of artifacts and artwork. The people who work there are very friendly and helpful.
