Arizona Mining and Mineral Museum
The Arizona Mining and Mineral Museum in Phoenix, Arizona, was a museum focused on minerals and mining. Last operated by the Arizona Historical Society, a state government agency, its exhibits included more than 3,000 minerals, rocks, fossils, and artifacts related to the mining industry.〔(Arizona Mining and Mineral Museum ), Arizona Department of Mines and Mineral Resources website, accessed October 30, 2010〕 The museum closed in May 2011.
== History ==
The museum was started in 1884 as a temporary exhibit at Arizona's first territorial fair. The exhibit was very popular and was moved into a permanent building on the state fairgrounds in 1919. It was open only during state fairs until 1953, when six Arizona mining companies provided funds for its year-round operation as a formal museum. Both the museum and the offices of its sponsoring agency, the Arizona Department of Mines and Mineral Resources, were located in a building on the state fairgrounds. In 1991 the museum and the department offices vacated the facility at the fairgrounds, which was by then dilapidated and did not have suitable climate conditions for archival storage of documents, and moved to the museum's current location, the former El Zaribah Shrine Auditorium in Phoenix.〔''(Arizona Mineral Resource )'', No. 37, February 2004〕 That same year the building was renamed the Polly Rosenbaum Building in recognition of the leadership of long-time state legislator Polly Rosenbaum in obtaining the historic building as a home for the museum.〔〔(Arizona Mineral & Mining Museum ), The Mineralogical Record website, accessed October 30, 2010〕〔Bill Coates, (Legendary lawmaker has 2 state buildings named in her honor ), ''Arizona Capitol Times'', September 1, 2006〕
