Visit + Learn
In keeping with the mission of the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, construction of the museum’s new education complex aimed to minimize the impact and to blend with, its natural surroundings. When visitors enter the complex, they learn how and why the tree was saved and integrated into the building design. Visitors thus gain an understanding of the value of preserving these large, mature trees for people’s enjoyment now and in the future.
