Artists push Native art to evolve using new techniques and materials

Artists discuss how Native art evolved and why many don’t have the same regard and access to mainstream galleries and museums as non-Indigenous peers.

Phoenix’s museums are filled with activities for both adults and children alike.  

The city’s rich history can be seen in art museums, music museums and history museums, with many of them being family friendly as well.  

If you’re looking for family activities during the holiday season, you’re never too old (or young) to spend time at a museum. 

There’s the Musical Instrument Museum, which is unique in the area and was founded by former CEO of Target. Bob Ulrich. The museum has interactive exhibits to play and hear music.  

And there’s the Arizona Museum of Natural History in Mesa, which has highlight attractions like dinosaur skeletons.  

No matter what you’re interested in, here are the best family-friendly museums in Phoenix.
