As executive director, Johnson can chat about anything and everything in the museum, from the fiery red Navajo rugs to the intricate ollas, or pots, shaped hundreds of years ago by Native American tribes.

His Spooked, On the Prod and Throwing the Hooley-Ann bronzes at the museum's front entrance are part of a larger exhibit chronicling Hampton's life. [Note: To read the full article, click here.]
