We are in our 60’s and thoroughly enjoyed our tour (docent guide Joe was great) and all his knowledge about Edward Curtis and his photography - this museum has something for everyone. Very interesting artifacts from the Lewis & Clark expedition, to modern paintings with a 3D effect. Really wished we could have stayed for live presentation about Edward Curtis, but time did not allow. Entry price was $15 per senior and there is free underground parking below the building.

This was our first visit to the Museum of the West, but we will defintely return with friends and family. The Museum is easy to visit and view the entire collection in 2 or 3 hours, but you could spend the day if you want to read every detailed description about the vast array of items. Incredible display of Barry Goldwater photographs, wonderful collection of Western Cowboy items including spurs, chaps, and saddle bags. Many oil paintings of the states west of the Great Divide (although Basha's oil paintings are even better). Fabulous Native American artifacts including pottery, clothing from deerskin and porcupine quills, and exquiste woolen blankets. This is a great place to bring your out-of-town guests that love the Old West!

Edward Curtis spent 30+ years photographing native americans in the late 1800's and early 1900's, in the last twilights of their civilizations. The museum is currently showcasing perhaps the best single collection of his work. It is truly gripping and stunning.

We were drawn to a special exhibit of Maynard Dixon with over 300 selections of his works. The exhibit was well organized and provided a wonderful insight into the life and work of this artist. We enjoyed other exhibits of pottery, paintings of the west by other artists and western saddles and and gear We enjoyed Recommended

Fabulous, fascinating and fun and worth checking out. We spent over 2.5 hours there and the art exhibition are thoughtful and informative. This museum probably has the largest collection of western historical paintings and sketching. Lots to see snd read snd docent Steve was very good,

My wife and I recently spent an informative and enjoyable morning at Western Spirit. The museum is beautifully laid out and we wandered through the buildings moving between art and artifacts. The focus is on the variety of people that lived in what we would call the West over a period of time. We tried to see everything. A special exhibit about movies and movie posters was nostalgic and recalled days in the 1950's when going to the movies with friends was an important part of social interaction when growing up.

I would recommend this museum especially those not familiar with the American west, specifically Arizona. Lots of interesting artefacts. We saw the Edward Curtis exhibit - fascinating, and controversial. The biases are there for all to see; this is the case with the museum too. Nonetheless, a worthwhile visit.

We saw this for the first time right after it opened. We were so impressed that we got a pass for just a couple dollars more to go anytime for a year. Well worth it because they constantly change the exhibits & it gives you 10% off in the store. We were very impressed with the art , paintings & sculptures. The location is great too with good parking.

Very nice museum with a lot of memorabilia on the west. There are knowledgeable docents who will give free group tours every hour for each section consecutively. This is good so you can get one section, then the next and next. Fantastic artwork on the top floor. Great movie posters, saddles and more. We spent 2 hours and could have spent more.

This photographer's exhibit was amazing as he had taken pictures of members from each tribe in the United States. Other photos were equally worthwhile to view. The rest of the museum is well done and take your time exploring the precious items on first and second floor.
