Think your home is a good fit for a desert tortoise friend? The Desert Museum's Tortoise Adoption Program (TAP), in partnership with Arizona Game & Fish, helps rehome healthy, unwanted desert tortoises in the Tucson area with qualified custodians—while promoting conservation, proper care, and the protection of wild populations.

Sonoran Treasures takes an intimate look at the rich diversity of plants and animals that define the Sonoran Desert. Through this juried selection of 2D and 3D works, the Southern Arizona Arts Guild examines the interconnected relationships between flora, fauna, and the distinctive geology of the Southwest. Cool down in our Ironwood Gallery and experience this exhibit during your next visit!
