Open house allows behind-the-scenes look into Arizona State Museum

No secret will be left unturned at the Arizona State Museum's open house tomorrow.

The museum will open its storeroom doors and allow participants to view exhibits which the general public rarely has access to starting tomorrow at 10 a.m.

"It lets the public see behind the scenes," said Bruce Hilpert, curator of public programs for the museum. "This is a chance to see stuff you don't normally get to see."

Since the museum does not have the capacity to open entire exhibits for the general public on a daily basis, the open house allows the public a rare opportunity of an all-access view of what the museum has to offer.

Some of the new artifacts on display include one of the largest Navajo rugs, a collection of beaded Plains Indian apparel as well as the prehistoric pottery collection comprised of more than 20,000 pieces. The collection has earned support from historical venues across the nation.
