Large collections of artifacts, including baskets, jewelry, Kachina dolls, pottery and textiles are represented.

Taliesin West
American architect Frank Lloyd Wright loved Arizona, and it was in northeast Scottsdale that he created one of his most stunning masterpieces: Taliesin West, a complex of buildings, served as his personal home, studio and architectural campus from 1937 until his death. Its design is an excellent example of Wright's philosophy of harmonizing architectural design with nature. Taliesin West still serves as a workshop for students who study at the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture.
