This museum presents a fantastic depiction of history with fine arts and an old county village. I loved it.Dr. Deb

This museum in the center of Wickenburg, an hour away from Carefree, is a good place to visit. It recounts the history of the western towns and describes the people's daily lives.It is also packed with artifacts and exceptionnal bronze carvings done by local artists of cowboys in action.

I have collected southwest sculptures and paintings for years and toured galleries in Santa Fe, NM, Park City, UT, and Scottsdale,AZ. On a casual trip to Wickenburg (about 90 minutes from Old Town Scottsdale) I entered this museum/gallery not expecting to see much.Boy, was I wrong! Wonderful bronze and clay pieces, oils, graphite sketches, and photographs of all sorts of western subjects stunned me. Most were donated by patrons of the arts and local families whose roots go back to the town's founding. I spent more than 2 hours in this small museum admiring them. The pieces are all original and not editions. So, if you're hankering for some cowboy or cowgirl atmosphere you'll find it in town. Just don't miss the museum/gallery. I may even donate a piece of my own for others to appreciate. And, take your camera!

I definitely recommend this as part of the Wickenburg experience. It is in two separate but close buildings, both of which offer artifacts, art, and insights into the history of this little town. With admission you get a ticket which gets you into the other building, and also lets you take a break for lunch or whatever and get back in again the same day. Also included is a personal audio tour, a relatively recent addition that I think is the best advancement in museum viewing in years. It consists of ear phones, a small portable-radio size device which you can wear either clipped to your belt or clothing, or worn around your neck. Volume adjustable, It self activates near any exhibit, and can give both basic and optional extended information about it. No photos allowed on the upper level but permitted in the lower gallery without flash. I particularly like exhibits that show how people lived and worked in older days, and this is most satisfying in this regard. There is a lot to see and appreciate here, and I admire the work and dedication that went into creating it.

Enjoy this small town museum for its historical displays and top notch artwork. Wickenberg is the neatest little town around with great support from local area people. A lot of famous people have donated artwork, Remington bronzes and other objects to this great museum.

we took our out of town family to the Museum and we all had a wonderful time .... we LOVE this Museum ...

Very nice museum and right across the street next to the gas station go see "The Jail Tree". If you have a few hours take a walk around the whole town of Wickenburg there is a lot of stuff to see.

This was a pleasant surprise in that we had no idea a small city/town like Wickenburg would have anything of this caliber. Great original bronzes by Russell and Remington, paintings by so many well-known western artists, past and present. Also a very well-done local history exhibit and much, much more. This is the type of facility you'd expect to find in Phoenix, but thank goodness it's located in a true Western town - where it belongs!

This is a must-see museum and art gallery/museum in the Valley of the Sun encompassing Greater Phoenix and northern Arizona. We always bring visiting friends and relatives and have gone to see what was new and interesting on our own many times. There's always something new to take in. The next art exhibition...CowgirlUP (hundreds of female artists from across the country) starting around the 21st of March will be a not-to-miss visit. Do yourself and your friends a favor...go check out the museum. The audio system (free) makes the displays come to life and make learning about the history of the area, tons of fun!

My sister and I spent a very enjoyable afternoon here. We used the complimentary audio headsets which enhanced the tour because we were then given additional information to explain what we were viewing. I came away with increased admiration of our earlier western heritage and was pleased to see that it continues on. Everything was beautiful. .Please don't miss this gem!
