ACMRS was established in 1981 by the Arizona Board of Regents as a state-wide research unit. Located centrally on the campus of Arizona State University, ACMRS is charged with coordinating and stimulating the interdisciplinary exploration of Medieval and Renaissance culture. Its activities cover a period roughly from 400 C.E., the fall of the Roman Empire, to 1700 C.E.

Open house at the Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies (ACMRS)! Experience first-hand what it was like to live in Medieval times. Try shooting the catapult, see medieval costumes and weaponry, try on actual chain mail, helmets, and the heavy weight of a sword! See members of the AZ Renaissance Festival in costume and a demonstration of Scottish Highland Dance!
