About Tucson Museum of Art

The Tucson Museum of Art and Historic Block sits on a four-acre city block in downtown Tucson. Its contemporary main building is joined by historic 19th-century houses, including the Cordova House from 1848, which have been converted into a restaurant, a pottery school, and galleries. The collection spans Art of the American West, Asian, contemporary, decorative, European, Indigenous, Latin American, and modern art. Visitors can also take free docent-led tours, attend lectures, and browse the museum store.
