Museum & Exhibits
The Homolovi Visitor Center includes exhibits explaining the archeology of the ancient people of Homolovi. When residents of the area left,
they traveled north and joined the people living on the Hopi Mesas, becoming ancestors of the Hopi people of today.

The art of the Hopi reflects this heritage. Additional exhibits tell of the continuing tradition of Hopi pottery, carving and other art
forms. The work of various artists including the art of Hopi children is incorporated in a changing exhibit.

In addition, the park maintains a collection of returned artifacts from within the Winslow area. These include prehistoric pottery wares,
stone and bone tools. There is also historical art works by Fannie Nampeyo, Charles Loloma, Paqua Naha (First Frog Woman) and Helen
(Feather Woman) Naha from the late 1880s to the late 1960s.

Touring the Homolovi museum and exhibits helps visitors connect with the rich history of this area which really accentuates their
experiences here. You can really feel the history at Homolovi!
