Photo of the Phoenix Art Museum signThe Phoenix Art Museum is number 3 in my list of the top 5 museums worth photographing in Phoenix.  The museum is located in the heart of Phoenix at McDowell Rd and Central Ave.  It is one of the largest museums on my list and has quite a bit to see and photograph on the grounds.  Aside from the architecture of the museum there is a sculpture garden, theaters, a cafe and thousands of square feet of exhibit space on several levels of awesome architecture.  The architecture of the museum is very modern for the most part.  Concrete, glass, and steel predominate the building which was built in 1959 and expanded on several times since.

The Phoenix Art Museum also encourages photography, as I think any organization dedicated to art should.  There are, of course, some limitations and you should review their photography policy before you head over to take some shots to be sure you are not violating anything.
