Museum number four on my list of the top 5 museums worth photographing in Phoenix is the Heard Museum in Central Phoenix.  Whereas the museums I featured so far, the ASU Museum of Art, The Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Phoenix Art Museum, are much more modern in their architectural styles, the Heard is more what I would call traditional Southwest or Spanish style.

The Heard houses a vast collection of American Indian art and cultural artifacts and has a history in Phoenix since the 1920s.   For photographers the Heard has a lot to offer and it is worth taking some time exploring the museum grounds.  They are dotted with several sculptures by prominent American Indian artists in addition to the architecture and  landscaping.
