Everything was beautifully curated and visually striking. However, the overall concept left me feeling emotionally overwhelmed....Read More

The Heard museum wildly exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend visiting ! The museum has quite the extensive collection of indigenous arts and history. The museum showcases both modern and older pieces.

Great museum. One floor was mostly educational about the "boarding schools" (kidnapping) of Native American children from their parents and communities to "civilize" them. Smh. The rest was artwork. Start on the top floor...work your way down. Budget 3...Read More

The display of the Arizona Native American tribes was amazing and extremely well done. The collection of pottery, kachina dolls, basket weaving and other artifacts is the best I have ever seen. The exhibits of contemporary artists was also exceptional.

Overall the museum was nice. I'm not a huge fan of look at a picture and read 3 paragraphs about it so I found a bit of the museum quite boring. I liked the section about boarding schools because you got to hear...Read More

Really cool artifacts if you appreciate traditional Native American culture. The history of Heard itself is kinda uncool. Items in the museum gift shop are priced like they cater to the Rothschild's or similar. Still very cool to see.
