Phoenix Art Museum

The Phoenix Art Museum is the primary art institution in the Southwest. Its history goes back to 1912 when the Arizona committee developed a fine arts program and their collections started coming in as early as 1915.

The former name for "PAM" was the Phoenix Art Center. It was only in 1959 when it had its recent location, the Midtown Phoenix and from then on, the museum just expanded and became a tourist attraction for Phoenix travel to visit the warm yet delightful Phoenix, Arizona.

Children between the age of 6 to 17 are only charged $4 per admission but they offer free admission to everyone every Tuesdays 3 to 9 in the evening and First Fridays at 6 to 10 in the evening.

The collections here came from all parts of the globe and from different ages. American, Asian, Latin American, European, Modern and Contemporary arts are just some of the collections here.
