Heard Museum
the overall mission of this outstanding living museum is to educate the public about the fantastic heritage and living cultures and art of the Native Peoples, with special emphasis on the Native people of the southwest and has been designated a Phoenix Point of Pride as it occupies three locations in Arizona that include the main branch in Phoenix, the North Scottsdale branch and the west branch in Surprise. It began in 1929, when Dwight B. and Maie Bartlett Heard needed a place to house their magnificent art collection, with the majority of their archaeological relics coming from the La Ciudad Indian ruins that the Heards had bought in 1926 in Phoenix. The fabulous museum has grown from a small town museum into an internationally recognized museum with more than 40,000 pieces that include the library and archives that house more than 34,000 volumes. It contains more than 130,000 square feet of space that includes a performance center, galleries and classrooms. A few of their excellent permanent exhibits include an excellent exhibition on the 19th century boarding school experiences of Native Americans that offers some haunting insight into the horrors that many of these children would have to endure, Home: Native Peoples in the Southwest, the Barry Goldwater collection of 437 historic Hopi kachina dolls and the Mareen Allen Nichols collection that houses 260 pieces of contemporary jewelry.
