 “It was an informal show, almost always having live animals and human guests, and focusing on the natural history of the desert as well as happenings at the museum.” In 1991 the museum partnered to develop a national television series known as "Desert Speaks.” It was produced in cooperation with the local PBS affiliate (KUAT), and with The Nature Conservancy of Arizona.This television series was broadcast in 200 markets and ran for 19 seasons.TripAdvisor rated the Museum as Tucson's #2 attraction for 2018.
