Businessman, devoted family man, philanthropist, education advocate and patron of the arts, Eddie Basha, was more than a grocer. Chandler Museum’s newest exhibition, “Being Eddie Basha,” will immerse visitors in key periods of Eddie’s life and the principles he lived by.
The exhibit opened March 10 and will explore how Eddie left lasting legacies in communities across Arizona and beyond.
“Being Eddie Basha” traces the Basha family’s journey from late 19th-century Lebanon to 20th-century Arizona, examining the places, people and experiences that shaped Eddie Basha as both a boy and a man. Drawing on community voices, original artifacts, historical research and Eddie’s own words, “Being Eddie Basha” invites visitors to step into his shoes and see the world as he did.
