Arizona Mining and Mineral Museum, Historic mineral collection in Downtown Phoenix, United States

The Arizona Mining and Mineral Museum is a museum in Phoenix dedicated to the state's mining history and mineral resources. The collection includes minerals, rocks, fossils, and objects from working mines found throughout Arizona.

The museum traces its roots to a mineral display at Arizona's first territorial fair in 1884. By 1919 the collection had moved into its own building at the state fairgrounds.

An exhibit room off the main gallery held a mineral collection, kachina dolls and other items donated by Rose Mofford, Arizona governor when the museum moved to the Polly Rosenbaum Building. Mofford said she would have her legal representative send the collection to "the rural museums of Arizona" if the museum ever closed.

The museum closed in May 2011 and legislation in April 2017 placed it under University of Arizona ownership for reopening. Before planning, check the current status with the Arizona Historical Society or the university. The outdoor mining equipment stands in front of the former El Zaribah Shrine Auditorium, renamed the Polly Rosenbaum Building, on the state fairgrounds site in Phoenix.

The baby gauge steam locomotive outside was built in 1882 and used at a Phelps Dodge mine in Morenci, not Bisbee. The outdoor display also includes a head frame from a Bisbee mine, a stamp mill, two mining rail cars, a 13-foot truck tire and a 27-cubic-yard shovel bucket from the Ray copper mine.
