The museum opened in the 1920s and its first home was on 10th Avenue and Van Buren where it remained until it moved to the rebranded Heritage & Science Park in 1996 in tandem with the Arizona Science Center thanks to a city bond.[1][2] Following financial decline, the museum closed on June 30, 2009.[3]
Following its closure, the museum reached an agreement with the Arizona Science Center to house and showcase their collection.[4]
