The Grand Canyon is a place of extraordinary natural beauty that diverse communities of indigenous people have called home for thousands of years. It has also inspired generations of tourists, explorers and artists, who have traveled to it from points across the globe.

The Grand Canyon is an exhibition that uses art, history and culture to help visitors understand the interaction of people with this important area over time. Three primary themes are explored throughout the exhibit: the Grand Canyon as an environment, the Canyon as a place of experience, and the Canyon as a place of expression. This exhibit will inspire and instill a sense of wonder in visitors and allow them to explore the interwoven natural and human histories of the Grand Canyon.
