Tucson Desert Art Museum

Today we paid a visit to Tucson Desert Art Museum. At the core of this museum is one of the Southwest's premier collections of Hopi and Navajo pre-1940s textiles including chief's blankets, , Navajo saddle blankets and Yei weavings. There were some beautiful examples. We were not allowed to take photos.

But I copied this from their site as an example.

I was interested in the Navajo legend of Spider Woman. She is one of the most important deities of the traditional Navajo religion. She taught the people the arts of weaving and agriculture and appears in many legends and folktales to protect the innocent and restore harmony.
