Arizona Mining and Mineral Museum, Historic mineral collection in Downtown Phoenix, United States
The Arizona Mining and Mineral Museum displays over 3,000 minerals, rocks, fossils, and artifacts connected to the regional mining industry in Phoenix.
The museum originated from an 1884 exhibit at Arizona's first territorial fair and later moved to a permanent building at the state fairgrounds in 1919.
The museum collection includes native copper specimens, lapidary arts, and displays from major Arizona mining sites that represent the state's geological heritage.
The facility remains closed to the public as it undergoes extensive renovations and development under the management of the University of Arizona.
The outdoor exhibition features original mining equipment from Bisbee mines, including a 19th-century baby gauge steam railroad locomotive and large mining truck tires.
