Bennett Insurance Group Presents: The Museum of Northern Arizona


The mission of the Museum of Northern Arizona is to inspire a sense of love and responsibility for the beauty and diversity of the Colorado Plateau through collecting, studying, interpreting, and preserving the region’s natural and cultural heritage. 

The Museum reaffirms the core tenets of the mission established by the founders in 1928:

Research – “to increase knowledge of science and art”

Collections – “to collect and preserve objects of art and scientific interest”

Education – “to diffuse knowledge and appreciation of science and art”

Conservation – “to preserve and protect the region’s historic and prehistoric sites, works of art, scenic places, [plants], and wildlife from needless destruction”

Place – “to maintain a museum in the city of Flagstaff that provides facilities for research and aesthetic enjoyment”

The Museum of Northern Arizona is headed by Director Robert G. Breunig, PhD.  Dr. Breunig joined MNA as Director in January, 2004.  

Founded in 1928 as a community effort by a group of Flagstaff citizens, the Museum of Northern Arizona (MNA) is a private, nonprofit institution that was originally established as a repository for Native American artifacts and natural history specimens from the Colorado Plateau. The original founders, zoologist Dr. Harold S. Colton and artist Mary-Russell Ferrell Colton, who were from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, were dedicated to preserving the history and cultures of northern Arizona.
