“Very glad we went!”

Heard Museum

8/9 found this review helpful

My wife is the museum type. I'm more into bumper boats. But I am very glad that we went to the Heard Museum. I learned a lot about the Native Americans, that I never learned in school. There are many original pieces of clothing, baskets, dolls, and jewelry from the turn of the century, as well as some stunning silver work from more recent. There is a nice large area for kids, to color and make crafts. Also very informative was learning about the early public schools for Native Americans. Parts of it were very touching. Overall, it was much more than I expected and definitely worth it. We all enjoyed it.

An interesting museum. We came for the kachinas and weren't disappointed. The museum collection is amazing. The gift shop selections are outstanding. A must see for collectors of Southwest American Indian art of all types.

No pun intended, but we "heard" about this museum, so the wife and I visited. It was very nice and gave you and educational lesson.

“Education section was fascinating”

Heard Museum

Visited the Heard Museum recently while in Scottsdale. I'm not much of a fan of museums but had heard quite a lot about this museum so went to check it out. I wasn't interested in most of what the museum had to offer, but if you are a museum lover I think this would get an above average/excellent mark as it is well set out and informative. They did have a special section on "Education" which I found thoroughly fascinating and definitely worth the entrance fee alone. If you have any interest in Native Americans and how they lived, this museum should be on your to do list.
