Visitors to MNA can view exhibits relating to the Museum's four main disciplines: anthropology, biology, geology, and fine art. The Museum has permanent exhibits in five galleries and changing exhibits in three additional galleries. The Museum of Northern Arizona houses nearly 5 million objects in its anthropology, biology, fine art, and geology collections.

The Anthropology Collection is subdivided into Ethnographic (historic Native American) and Prehistoric Collections. The Ethnographic Collections contain significant holdings of baskets, katsina dolls, jewelry, and Hopi and Navajo textiles. Smaller collections represent the material culture of the Apache, Zuni, and Pai.

The Biology Collection features the Walter B. McDougall Herbarium of plant specimens from northern Arizona as well as insect, fish, reptile, bird, and mammal specimens from the area.

The Fine Art Collection is comprised of sculptures, etchings, and paintings. Highlights of the collection include paintings by Museum cofounder Mary-Russell Ferrell Colton as well as works by young Native American artists, many of whom have become renowned artists during their adult lives.

The Geology Collection illustrates every geologic period of the Colorado Plateau with dinosaur, reptile, mammal, plant fossil, mineral, and rock specimens.
