Art and Culture in Phoenix

"Recognized for the quality of its permanent collections and temporary exhibits, the Heard Museum is an amazing museum of Native American art and culture. Its highlight is the permanent exhibit called “HOME,” presenting everything that defines the home for the indigenous people of the Southwest. Here, visitors can walk through a full-size Navajo hogan and a Hopi piki room, visit a Yaqui ramada, and examine a Pueblo oven. There are also over 400 Hopi katsina dolls, Navajo textiles, and Zuni jewelry pieces to enhance the experience for every type of visitor. Hands-on activities in the “It’s Your Turn” exhibit deepen the visitor’s understanding of these cultures. Expanding beyond the Southwest, the “Around the World” collection displays works of Native people from other parts of the world. The museum also hosts temporary exhibits and indigenous festivals and dances." - MATADOR_NETWORK
