Navaho rug, Heard museum, Phoenix, Arizona
It was slightly cloudy today, but warm enough with temperatures in the mid 20’s C. We went to the Heard Museum this morning, a museum with both contemporary and historical Native American art. Much of the art work was very nice. I especially enjoyed the Hopi dolls, and the Navaho rugs.
After lunch and a bit more time in the museum we left and drove to the downtown area, where we stopped to look at St. Mary’s Basilica, the oldest Catholic church in Phoenix. It has a very large number of stained glass windows. We also walked around Heritage Square, a small park with some small museums and restaurants in historical Victorian era buildings. It contains the only remaining structures from the original town of Phoenix.
