Heard Museum
A top museum of Native American art and culture, with Hopi kachina dolls, Navajo weavings and contemporary Indigenous art.
The museum was founded in 1929. Its Spanish Colonial Revival buildings wrap around courtyards, and the collection holds about 40,000 objects. Key galleries tell the histories of the tribes of the Southwest, the stories of boarding schools, and contemporary creative work. Its collection of Hopi kachina dolls is especially renowned. Every early March, the Heard Museum's Indian Arts Market is one of the largest events of its kind in the United States. Admission is about $25, and the museum is open Tuesday to Sunday. It sits beside Central Avenue, a short walk from the Encanto/Campbell light rail station.
