Visiting ASU Tempe, Presented by Tempe Tourism

Whether it's your alma mater or you're planning a visit during homecoming or family weekend, you'll find plenty of reasons to spend time exploring the beautiful Arizona State University Tempe Campus. From the arts to the sciences, ASU has more than museums and galleries to pique your interests:

• Visit the ASU Art Museum, named "the single most impressive venue for contemporary art in Arizona" by Art in America magazine. Rotating exhibitions focus on issues relevant to life today.

• At the ASU Gallery of Scientific Exploration, take a breathtaking trip into space via the 3-D planetarium style shows in the Marston Exploration Theater. You'll also find a fascinating meteorite exhibit and interactive displays.

• Enjoy the campus's unique exterior spaces. You won't find the traditional ivy-covered walls here. Instead take a stroll down Palm Walk, a promenade lined with stately palm trees that are nearly 100 years old and reach heights of 90 feet. Take a self-guided tour of the university's public art collection, including Air Apparent, the beautiful Skyspace by internationally renowned artist James Turrell.

The critically acclaimed Dance Theatre of Harlem will perform an eclectic mix of the new and traditional that will highlight the brilliance of this one-of-a-kind American dance treasure. Dance Theatre of Harlem was founded shortly after the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr.as a school in which students could learn about dance and other art forms. Now in its fourth decade, it has achieved unprecedented success, bringing innovative and bold new forms of artistic expression to audiences in New York City, across the country and around the world. Dance Theatre of Harlem is part of the 2014-2015 ASU Gammage BEYOND Series, a carefully curated boutique arts series that brings world-class performing artists to Arizona.
