Mohave Museum of History and Arts is a private nonprofit museum that is dedicated to preserving Northwestern Arizona's indigenous history and culture, with a focus on the Chemehuevi, Havasupai, Hualapai, Mohave, and Paiute tribes that have historically called the region home.

The museum was founded in 1961 and features a large number of exhibits and displays originally developed by artist Roy Purcell, the museum's first director.

Exhibits detail the region's history from the prehistoric era to the present day, showcasing photographs, paintings, and arts and crafts items produced by indigenous populations.

The museum's research facility serves as a comprehensive collection of civic materials related to the Mohave County region, open to the public Wednesdays and Thursdays. The museum is operated by the Mohave County Historical Society, which offers combination tickets to experience its sister Route 66 Museum and Bonelli House facilities.
