Exploring Hunt's Tomb
Jun 17, 2013
Although I have lived in Phoenix all my life, it wasn't until recently that I made time to check out Hunt's Tomb. Located in Papago Park, Hunt's Tomb is the final resting place of Arizona's first governor, George WP Hunt.
His tomb is unusual because it is not located in a cemetery. Instead, he is interred in a gleaming white pyramid on a hill top in Papago Park. The 20-foot tall pyramid is visible from almost everywhere in the park.
George Wiley Paul Hunt was a man of great character. Born in Missouri in 1859, he came out west to Arizona at the age of 22. His travels brought him to Globe, Arizona, which was a booming copper mining town.

The Art of Video Games Exhibit Coming to Phoenix Art Museum

The Magnavox Odyssey. The Atari 2600. ColecoVision, Commodore, Sega, and Nintendo. For many of us, these were the machines of our childhood. But are video games more than just mindless entertainment? Can they be considered art? One man thinks so.
His name is Chris Melissinos, and he is the curator of the exhibit "The Art of Video Games."
This exhibit was organized by the Smithsonian American Art Museum and is on a 10-city nationwide tour through the year 2016. This summer, the exhibit will be on display at the Phoenix Art Museum.
