The Tucson Museum of Art and Historic Block is an art museum and education institution in the Presidio District of downtown Tucson, Arizona, occupying 74,000 square feet of exhibition space across a four-acre city block. Its campus combines a contemporary main museum with adapted 19th-century adobe houses, including the Cordova House of 1848, now used as a restaurant, pottery school and galleries. The permanent collection of more than 8,000 objects centres on modern and contemporary, Latin American, Western and Native American, and Asian art, and includes a noted holding of Latin American and pre-Columbian work; the museum also hosts the Arizona Biennial. It has operated as a community art education venue since its founding in 1924, and its plazas host markets, festivals, an annual Día de los Muertos event and other community occasions. In 2015 True West magazine named it one of the top Western art museums in the United States.
