The Heard Museum of Native Cultures and Art is a museum located in Phoenix, Arizona, USA. The overall mission of the Heard Museum is to educate the public about the heritage and the living cultures and arts of Native peoples, with emphasis on the peoples of the Southwest. The Heard Museum is not a history museum. It is a living museum featuring both artifacts and contemporary art of Native cultures. The main Phoenix location of the Heard Museum has been designated as a Phoenix Point of Pride.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Phoenix Points of Pride )〕 The museum formerly operated the Heard Museum West branch in Surprise which was closed in 2009.〔http://blogs.phoenixnewtimes.com/uponsun/2009/08/heard_museum_west_will_close_b.php "Heard Museum West Will Close By the End of 2009", Phoenix NewsTimes, August 4, 2009〕 The museum also formerly operated the "Heard Museum North Scottsdale" branch in Scottsdale, Arizona, which was closed in May 2014. 〔 http://www.azcentral.com/business/news/articles/20140115heard-museum-north-close.html〕 ==History== The Heard Museum was founded in 1929 by Dwight B. and Maie Bartlett Heard to house their personal collection of art. Much of the archaeological material in the Heards' collection came from La Ciudad Indian ruin, which the Heards purchased in 1926 at 19th and Polk streets in Phoenix.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=July 31, 2006 )〕 Portions of the museum were designed by architect, Bennie Gonzales, who also designed Scottsdale City Hall. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Heard Museum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
