Phoenix Museums: Digging in for a Good Time |
Explore the Native American culture with a trip to the Heard Museum in downtown Phoenix. Peruse the diverse artwork at the Phoenix Art Museum. Soak in knowledge at the Arizona Science Center (the local Phoenix science museum). Take your time in visiting these three splendid Phoenix museums for the rich variety of works they display.
The Heard Museum was opened in 1929 by Dwight and Maie Heard and housed their diverse collection of Native American artifacts. Today it has ten gallery exhibits with nearly forty thousand artifacts on display. Admission prices vary from $7.50 for students to $15.00 dollars for adults.
With two locations, one in downtown Phoenix (on 23rd and Central) and one in North Scottsdale, guests to the museum can spend hours viewing the collection of over 35,000 Native American artifacts. Small, guided tours are an economic way to see all that this museum has to offer as groups of fewer than twenty receive two dollars off admission per person if one is booked in advance. People who prefer to peruse the collection on their own time may still enjoy booking an unguided tour and receiving one dollar off admission for advanced reservations.
Some of the most popular exhibits are the "We Are! Arizona's First People" and "Every Picture Tells a Story" showcases. Both exhibits focus on local tribes and the artistic culture that the first natives made real. The entire museum's focus is strongly historical and devotedly educational to give people the best picture of what it means to live culturally-aware lives.
Arizona's most popular museum, the Phoenix Art Museum, is nearby to the Heard on 16th and Central. A $10.00 admission price for adults and $8.00 for seniors and students makes this vast gallery affordable for most people. Group tours, though they must be scheduled five weeks in advance, are free and may enhance many people's experience of the artworks.
Popular displays from Picasso, O'Keeffe and Monet are just a few of the offerings the museum has on display. Many other renowned artists are part of the museum's permanent collection. In addition to these permanent pieces, the galleries usually include three traveling collections from modern fashion displays to photography and Theatre.
The Arizona Science Center features traveling shows such as "Body World," and strives to educate its population on the scientific breakthroughs that changed, and are still changing, their world. All three museums are popular with the locals, and anyone looking to see something on vacation that they could not see at home should make these locations one of the must-see stops on their agenda. For the cost of seeing a film at the theater, you can enjoy the richest history and art our nation has to offer instead.
