Main Exhibition Hall

The main exhibition hall, entitled, Tempe: Distinct, Diverse, Dynamic, is the heart of the new Tempe History Museum. Here the story of Tempe is dramatically staged through a variety of media. The exhibition explores the history of Tempe using a thematic approach. Visitors can explore four thematic areas—

• College Town

• Building Our Community

• Living Together

• Surviving in the Desert.

Other features of the gallery include:

• An Exploration Station in each of the themed areas that offers more detailed information online.

• A Learning Lounge where visitors can browse through books or just sit and take a break.

• Kids' Place gets children involved with history.

Little Devil's Stadium is a protected space for crawlers and toddlers to move about.

A changing gallery will feature temporary exhibits.
