Heard Museum in Phoenix from Scottsdale we took the i-17 and exited at McDowell
Road. We followed McDowell Road to Central Avenue and made a right turn
onto Central Avenue. You'll be able to see the Heard museum from Central Avenue
on the right-hand side a few blocks after you pass the Phoenix Art Museum. We
continued on Central Avenue and made a right on the Heard Museum Street into
the parking lot. The heard museum signs are clearly posted on central avenue. The
heardd Museum of Phoenix offers free parking
from the parking lot we walked to the heard museum entrance which is a hacienda
like building. While walking to the entrance
there were several cool murals and sculptures to view. The Phoenix heard
museum is open from Monday through Saturday 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and on
Sundays from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

purchased our tickets we put away our selfie stick in our backpacks as they
are not allowed. The heard museum is dedicated to the promotion of Native
American art and history. The heard museum's art collection is focused on
the culture of native peoples and consists of more than 40,000 objects
most of the collections are cultural collection from the greater Southwest
and contemporary Native fine art from North America. The collection includes
Hopi Katsina dolls, Navajo and Zuni jewelry, Navajo textiles, southwestern
ceramics from prehistory to the present, and baskets from the Southwest,
California , the Great Basin, and the Northwest. The heard museum's collection
also documents American Indian fine art movement from the 20th century to the
present and also includes work by some of the finest historic and contemporary
American Indian artists. I personally was moved by the remembering our Indian
school and the boarding school experience exhibit. We learned a lot
about Native American culture and history at this heard Museum in Phoenix
Arizona. Be sure to ask questions from the many volunteers that are there. They
are well informed and very friendly. Our museum will take you two or more hours
depending on your interest. Combine it with a visit to the Phoenix Art Museum
which is just a few blocks up the street
