 Founded in 1937 by William Shirley Fulton, the Amerind Foundation is a private nonprofit 501(c)(3) anthropological and archaeologicalmuseum and research center dedicated to the preservation and interpretation of Native American cultures and their histories. Located in spectacular Texas Canyon in the Little Dragoon Mountains of southeastern Arizona, the Amerind houses one of the finest private collections of Native American art and artifacts in the country.
The museum is open Tuesday – Sunday, 10:00a.m. - 4:00p.m.
We hope to see you soon!
 We're excited to let you know that the accessible ramp at the front entrance of the museum is about half-way complete. The front entrance will be closed for a few more weeks, and visitors will be routed through the "business office" door on the side. You'll see the signs. Please pardon the inconvenience.

A NEW EXHIBIT IN THE MUSEUM!
Interwoven Traditions: The Cultural Legacy Of Southwestern Textiles
 Our newest exhibit features some of the beautiful rugs and other textiles in Amerind's collection. It is a feast for the eyes and in these two rooms you will see some real treasures from Navajo, Hopi, Tarahumara, Rio Grande, and other weavers. 
NEW ART EXHIBIT
We are pleased to announce that the latest exhibition in the Fulton-Hayden Memorial Art Gallery, The Art of Emmi Whitehorse, has been installed. The work you will see on exhibit consists of mixed media - oil and chalk pastels - on paper that has been mounted on canvas. Whitehorse's canvases are large and engaging. Please click on "Exhibits" above to see more about her work. The exhibit will be up until March 1, 2012.
ALSO IN THE ART GALLERY...you will find a recently installed exhibit on Fine Art Conservation at the Amerind. Thanks to the Friends of Western Art, an organization in Tucson, some of Amerind's priceless works of art were evaluated and taken into the art conservation studio of Linda Morris for restoration and conservation treatment. Curator, Eric Kaldahl, has mounted an informative exhibit that shows some of what was done, why it was done, as well as the results of the needed treatment.
