Wells Fargo Bank has a large banking presence in Arizona but I bet many people didn’t know there was a museum dedicated to the company’s history located in the lobby of the Wells Fargo tower in downtown Phoenix. It’s well worth a peek inside. Besides the 19th century stagecoach pictured above, there are also all sorts of artifacts from the gold mining days of the west. There is also a large collection of art by illustrator N.C. Wyeth.
Phoenix isn’t the only city with a Wells Fargo museum. Others are located in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento, San Diego, Minneapolis, Anchorage, and Portland.

I have to agree with Olivier :)
But the museums sound fascinating. A piece of real, everyday life history.
I didn't know that! Love the stagecoach.
A fun place to visit with one's sister!
This is very American. Just needs a couple of highway men
This is so cool! Glad to know there is such a museum there.
I read a book on Arizona history that said that the passengers sitting across from one another on a full stage coach would have to sit with interlocking knees.
Must have made a ride across Arizona in the hot summer a rather sweaty affair.
I had an office in that building for 10 years, so I am familiar with what they used to call the Wells Fargo History Room.
Wells Fargo has a tradition of supporting local arts and culture.
City is great to travel blogs. These blogs, I learned a lot. Great photos. I respect your effort. Best regards.
