Jerome’s Living Labyrinth

Deep within the historic mountains of Jerome, Arizona, a subterranean marvel is being engineered.

The Jerome Ant Museum is a brand-new, premier destination dedicated to the fascinating science of myrmecology—the study of ants. Equal parts high-design exhibition and living laboratory, the museum bridges local mining folklore with the breathtaking architecture of the underground world.
