Arizona State Museum

The Arizona State Museum is located on the University of Arizona campus.  A short walk from a parking spot just a few blocks away.  The displays included rooms full of woven baskets and other objects from large to very tiny; from very old to contemporary.  It was awesome.  Plus, the display was just a part of the collection.  Windows in the room showed many shelves full of other examples in an area behind the displayed items.  It would be fun to go through the entire collection with an expert.
   The was just one area.  There was a room of masks of South America.  Some were rather evil looking.  All were quite interesting.
    Another room was devoted to walls.  Yes, walls.  When you think of walls, what comes to mind?  Yes, That wall was there.  There was even an example in the room.   UGH !!     
    Another portion was about the Berlin Wall, it's life and it's destruction. 
    And then there was the Great Wall of China.  Actually, there were many walls built in China built by succeeding emperors.  A map showed more than two dozen walls stretching for thousands of miles in many directions in mostly eastern China.  Construction of some were done as early as the 3rd Century.  The latest maybe 500 years ago.  I had no idea of the extent of the construction.
  We exited the museum not because they had seen everything, but because we needed to find food.  We found a great Italian restaurant.  Salad and pizza.  Yumm.
   As for the museum.  We need to return.  There is a whole section on pottery that we did not visit.
Other tempting locations to see on campus is a telescope lens grinding lab, a museum of optics, a tree ring museum. an art museum, and also one for minerals.  Lots to see right on or near the downtown Tucson area.
