They have a great variety of items along with very complete descriptions. Well definitely return since there was too much to take in in one visit.

Very nice for a relatively small museum. Set up well. Take the guided tour (free) if available. Lots of local history and stories.

They only let dogs small enough to pick up. We have a very large, but well trained dog. It was too hot to leave our dog in the car so we didnt go in

The Cowboy art section was wonderful, the other side was a fundraiser with photos and lithographs and non professional artists work for sale.

10 years living in the area, and I visited this place. This is a Cowboy art museum with a large variety of artists. There was less local art than I invissioned...but was a neat experience. All college students revive a discount, 5 dollar entry...how could you beat it. Check this place out, its worth it.

If you love the wild wild west, you will love this museum. They change displays frequently. So stop in a couple of times a year.

Amazing bronzes, western paintings, nice docent introduced rooms then let us explore on our own, nice gift shop.Large area closed off from viewing, supposedly setting up new show (couldve let us in IMO as we could peer around curtains).

Lots of information about the old wild west Prescott. Also many beautiful paintings and cool items from that time to see

A nice unpretentious museum with Western and Cowboy art. A couple of galleries are the permanent exhibits and one area is for rotating displays. The facility is very nice and situated so that even the main exit and windows in the gift shop look out across the Granite Dells and serve as frames over a picturesque Western landscape.The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly with information not just on the Phippen, but on other museums and cultural attractions in the area.

Great museum, and the docent was really knowledgeable and obviously passionate about talking about the region and the museum. As a plus, one of the local artists, John Coleman, was there signing books and we were able to get a personalized signature. Go on a Saturday if you want to have the tour with the docent.

We. Visited a few weeks back. The docent was incredible. She explained the history and how the bronzes were made. If the desk clerk had not told us about it we wouldnt have know. There should be a lot more publicity. Please do more

Nice horse exhibit currently showing in addition to the permanent collection of cowboy paraphernalia and paintings/sculptures of cowboys and natives. Two preserved workdesks one of which was Phippens. Small museum but for Prescott, its pretty good!

We had a family reunion here a week ago and it was wonderful! They rented out the space in the basement for us and food was catered in. Afterwards my immediate family stayed after for a little private tour of the museum. Very knowledgeable staff and very interesting and beautiful art. One of the reunion members forgot a camera and our tour guide even drove it out to our hotel (as the museum was already closed) a few minutes away. So generous!
