The Heard Museum houses many art exhibits highlighting art that is native to the region. This is the museum to explore if you wish to see collections of Native American art. The downtown museum is open from 9:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. every day. Free public tours are available at 12 p.m., 1:30 p.m. and 3 p.m.

Avondale will soon boast a new library to go with the existing Avondale library. This brings the library network fully up to date and provides another great location for local cultural events and exhibitions. This will be a state of the art library, well worth a visit.
