Sonora Museum of Art, Art museum in Hermosillo, Mexico.

The Sonora Museum of Art is located in Hermosillo and displays contemporary and traditional artworks across several galleries. The collection features work by artists from the region alongside pieces from visiting creators, presented in rotating exhibitions.

The museum was founded to document and preserve the artistic development of the Sonora region. Over time it established itself as a key institution for tracking local and regional artistic movements.

The museum displays work by local artists who often explore themes rooted in the region's character and landscape. Exhibitions show how Sonoran creators interpret their surroundings and heritage through their practice.

The museum opened in September 2009 and its permanent collection is shown in three numbered rooms: Sala 1 for Sonoran art, Sala 2 for contemporary Mexican art and Sala 3 for the Sonora 3.0 collection. Sala A holds temporary pieces such as Javier Peláez's Flor explotada 1 (2020). Look for Xawery Wolski's Dos Eslabones de Terracota (2016) in Sala 2 and Fernando Cordero's A nivel del mar, estructura roja (2005) in Sala 3.

The museum's collection grew through donations from artists and through the SHCP's payment-in-kind scheme, alongside purchases funded by residents of northern, central and southern Sonora. Its first permanent display, Sonora 1.0, covers Sonoran art from the 1970s to 2010, a period curator Octavio Avendaño Trujillo links to politicised activism and hippie subjectivism.
