exhibitions
Exhibitions at AZMNH bring the natural world to life through immersive storytelling and scientific discovery. Visitors encounter towering dinosaurs, vibrant cultures of the Southwest, glittering minerals, Ice Age giants, and the deep history of the Sonoran
Desert. Every gallery is designed to spark curiosity—inviting guests to imagine ancient landscapes, uncover hidden connections, and explore the forces that have shaped life on Earth. From hands-on activities to dramatic fossil displays, each exhibit is crafted to
make science feel vivid, exciting, and accessible for all ages.
Behind every exhibition is a journey that begins long before anything appears on the museum floor. Our scientists and curators conduct fieldwork, study collections, and collaborate with researchers to uncover stories worth sharing. Designers, artists, and educators then work together to transform that knowledge into meaningful experiences—building environments, creating graphics, and shaping narratives that connect visitors to the past in powerful ways. What you see in the galleries is more than a display; it’s the result of exploration, creativity, and a shared commitment to inspiring wonder.
