This exquisite building meets the LEED Gold Standard for sustainability, conserving precious natural resources while also raising public awareness of their vital importance to the western region. Rotating exhibits of western art and cultural treasures are on loan from some of the world’s foremost collectors and institutions. Interactive games and activities as well as multi-media kiosks located throughout the galleries engage the interest of children and adults alike, providing insights into the art and artifacts on exhibit as well as topics such as Western geography, history, flora, and fauna. A partnership with Arizona State University provides additional resources, enhancing the Museum as a communication and learning center for studies of the West.

This premier cultural destination boasts a yearly attendance of 100,000 visitors. The Museum space features a 135-seat auditorium, eight exhibit spaces, a museum store, interpretive spaces, and other multi-use spaces for gatherings and presentations. The Museum is now home to the largest collection of Western film posters.

The museum has helped transform the historic downtown area into a culturally revitalized neighborhood. MCH provided full-scope acoustical consulting.
