ARIZONA'S STATE SYMBOLS
A new exhibit at the Arizona Capitol Museum, 1700 West Washington in Phoenix, features Arizona’s state symbols, and the exhibit has been designed to be accessible to those with visual impairments. You can learn all about our state symbols from the state fossil (petrified wood) to the state fish (the Arizona trout). Arizona even has official state neckwear – the bola tie, of course. There are touchable sculptures of seven of the symbols and tactile diagrams and Braille descriptions of all fifteen symbols. The brochure is available in large print and in Braille. The exhibit opened October 3 and will be a permanent exhibit. The museum is open Monday through Friday from 8 am until 5 pm, and on Saturdays from 11 am until 4 pm. Admission is free.
