MNA connecting with art, culture, science

Editor,
Spring is here, and it’s the perfect time to enjoy a vibrant array of activities we have lined up over the coming weeks.

International Museum Day is May 18 and we’re offering free admission all day long. It’s an ideal chance to enjoy the Museum exhibits and some special events alongside your friends and family – absolutely free of charge.

Get ready for the unveiling of a captivating new exhibit, The Grand Canyon Dragon Map. I had the opportunity to see this extraordinary geology map during a rafting trip on the Colorado River in 2022. It immediately drew me in with its intricate details, colors, and design. This exhibit delves into the creation of the map in the 1970s, its applications today, and the stunning geology it depicts. Whether you’re a geology buff, an admirer of the Grand Canyon, or someone who appreciates exquisite maps, this exhibit promises to be an engaging experience.

Don’t forget to mark your calendar for the Heritage Festival June 22-23. A highlight of our cultural calendar, the two-day festival features an extensive Indigenous art market showcasing artists from the Colorado Plateau, colorful music and dance performances, enriching workshops, and insightful cultural talks. Stay tuned to our social media channels for more details.

We’re excited to offer these experiences as a way to connect more deeply with the art, culture, and science of the Colorado Plateau. Whether you’re revisiting or discovering the Museum for the first time, we look forward to welcoming you.
