Tucson Museum of Art, Art museum in downtown Tucson, United States.

The Tucson Museum of Art is an art museum in downtown Tucson that features multiple galleries with contemporary works, traditional pieces, and rotating exhibitions from different artistic movements. The collection includes paintings, sculptures, and other art forms spanning various periods and styles.

The Tucson Fine Arts Association was founded on March 20, 1924 by members of the Tucson Women's Club and about 50 other Tucsonans, among them founding board member Louise Norton. It began as a gallery and monthly lecture space, moving to the Temple Gallery after the Temple of Music and Art opened on Scott Avenue in October 1927. A permanent collection started in 1967 with donations of pre-Columbian, Spanish Colonial and Western American art, and the main museum building, designed by architect Andy Anderson, opened on May 1, 1975.

The museum's collection of Latin American art spans from colonial times to today, offering visitors insight into the region's artistic traditions and their ongoing influence. This focus shapes how many people in the community understand and connect with their creative heritage.

The museum occupies a four-acre city block in the Presidio District of downtown Tucson, with the contemporary main building and 19th-century historic homes adapted as galleries, a pottery school and the restaurant Cafe a la C'Art. The main galleries are arranged as a downward spiral around a central well connecting the levels and ramps, so allow time to follow the route through eight to nine concurrent exhibitions.

The main museum, designed by architect Andy Anderson, opened on 1 May 1975 with an exhibition drawn from 43 private Tucson collections and drew 50,000 visitors in its first year. Its galleries spiral downward around a central well connecting the levels, a layout compared to the Guggenheim in New York.
