Ancient and contemporary works by Zuni, Hopi, Navaho and Apache Native American tribes are on display in the museum. Find examples of intricately woven baskets and rugs, finely detailed and masterfully crafted kachina dolls, stunning canvas paintings, jewelry, clothing and other pieces.

Ritsub. I had the privilege of visiting the Heard during the Native American Craft Fair in early March. Visiting the museum and seeing the exquisite artifacts gave me a true picture of Native American culture: its diversity, complexity, compassion and beauty. I think it's a MUST-SEE for all of us who grew up watching westerns and getting a totally wrong impression of America's first nation. In addition, the facility itself is gorgeous: scultpures, fountains, gardens. A perfect, perfect place.
