Liz's Tips:

If you are in town for one of The Heard's major events such as the November Spanish Market, the December Holiday Festival, the March Indian Fair and Market, you are in for a treat. In fact I recommend you plan your trip around some of the major Heard events.

Why The Heard is so Special:

The Heard is where Southwesterners go to see the best Native American art, the best information on Native American History and even the best gifts available with a secure knowledge that the pieces are authenticated and worth the amount paid.

I love The Heard for it's Native American Festivals, dance exhibitions and special sales.

For nearly 75 years, the Heard Museum has been a Phoenix landmark, a place where visitors from across the globe come to learn about the region's Native cultures and art. With every exhibit the Heard presents, education plays a major role throughout the planning process. Unlike many museums that show "objects on a shelf," the Heard strives to present voices and perceptions of the people who made the work on display, and Native American consultants play a vital role in the development of every exhibition.
