Museum of the Americas

Posted By on July 10, 2011

Went to the Museum of the Americas and found a wonderful hidden treasure!
I say it’s hidden, but actually it’s in plain sight, yet easy to pass by
without even knowing it is there.

About a block off the square in Weatherford, Texas is where you will find the most
unexpected collection of artifacts, masks, ceramics, costumes and
jaw dropping cultural information about the Americas.

This Nanduti lace caught my eye. It is indigenous of Paraguay.
I had never seen it before and it is just beautiful. If you really
want a visual of the beauty of the lace, just Google images “nanduti”.
It means spider web.

You will be given a free tour by the owner of this most wonderful
private collection of artifacts. Each room is filled with eye opening exhibits.

As you can see, every piece has a description to help you envelope the culture.

The museum has permanent pieces and special exhibits throughout the year.

This mask caught my eye!

Plan to spend some time at the museum to absorb it all!

So much to see, and it is all free!

I just took a few photos, but you will want to visit the museum yourself!

Weatherford is just west of Fort Worth.

    They had 5 or 6 rooms totally filled with beautiful art and beauty of the Americas. The amazing thing is that it is their own private collection. Stop by on your next trip to Festival.
