BISBEE MUSEUMS

BISBEE MINI MUSEUM OF THE BIZARRE

In the late 1800's many wealthy people in Europe started collecting odd and eccentric items from around the world. Most placed these oddities in cabinets later referred to as cabinets of curiosities. Eventually people started showcasing their oddities in traveling road shows. In the United States people started opening up their 'dime museums' in the back of their small town storefronts to entice the public to view their strange and unusual collections. 

Located at 7 Howell Avenue, next to the Copper Queen Hotel,the Bisbee Mini Museum of the Bizarre showcases Renee Gardner’s collection of strange, unusual, and odd objects from around the world. Items in the collection include a mummified fairy, two-headed squirrel,  glass eye,  death mask of John Dillinger and atomic dime to name a few.

Open 11am – 5pm Thursday through Monday

Admission price $3.00 per person

BISBEE MINING & HISTORICAL MUSEUM

With a history deserving of National Landmark status, it's only fitting that Bisbee's past be captured and reflected in a museum like no other. Which is exactly why the Bisbee Mining & Historical Museum recently joined forces with the Smithsonian's Affiliation Program. Once known as The Queen of the Copper Camps, Bisbee is nestled among the Mule Mountains, work renowned for its diverse minerals and wealth of copper. Although its mines closed in the 70s, the small town's legacy has long been preserved not only in its architecture and mining landscape, but in a museum that has welcomed, educated and entertained more than a half-million visitors ever since. Featured among its exhibits is "Bisbee: Urban Outpost on the Frontier," an in-depth look at the depths - and heights - to which miners and settlers went to carve a communtiy and a living out of rock.
