The Phoenix Art Museum is one of the largest and nicest art museums in the
southwest. The museums vast collection contains works spanning from
the Renaissance to the present day. Museum exhibits focus on Spanish-colonial
furnishings, decorative arts, historic fashions, religious art,
and works provided by members of the Cowboy Artists of America association.
Masterpieces by such notable names as Henri Rousseau, Pablo Picasso,
and Diego Rivera are also hosted by the museum. One of the more
popular exhibits is the Thorne Miniature Collection, which really
is quite remarkable. The collection consists of 20 miniature replicas
of existing houses in the U.S. and Europe. The museum generally
is not too crowded and one can give each exhibit the appropriate
attention without being disturbed.
