The Museum of Walking (MoW) is an educational resource committed to people, land, action, and site through the everyday act of walking. Walking is a defining human activity with poetic and political resonance as well as mundane and ceremonial manifestations that play a central role in contemporary art, social and cultural history, health, and sustainable lifestyles. Whether alone or with a group, moving through space creates connections between people and the environment, as it promotes well-being and enhances creative divergent thinking.

Since its establishment in 2014, the Museum of Walking has been featured in publications including Landscape Architecture Magazine, National Public Radio, and The Phoenix New Times. MoW has been funded by Evelyn and Lou Grubb Charitable Fund/Nancy Grubb Sage, Arizona Community Foundation, ASU Institute for Humanities Research, and ASU Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts. To capture the true spirit of walking and discovery, MoW often becomes a nomadic entity characterized by exhibitions nationwide, silent treks under moonlight, and interpretive Sonoran desert walks led by park rangers. Past walks include Walk the Indian School, with Patty Talahongva, a former student of Phoenix Indian School, who led participants on a walk of the former school site, and MoW Walks Repellent Fence, a durational walk in support of the artist collaborative Postcommodity land installation Repellent Fence, where participants walked alongside portions of the iconic transborder installation.
