The Heard Museum in Phoenix, founded by Dwight and Maie Heard in 1929, is a leading institution dedicated to the art, history and living cultures of Native peoples of the Americas, with particular emphasis on tribes of the American Southwest. Its collections and rotating exhibitions present historic and contemporary works—pottery, textiles, basketry, jewelry, painting, sculpture and mixed-media pieces—alongside interpretive displays that contextualize traditions, ceremony and innovation. The museum supports scholarship, conservation and educational programming, and organizes periodic special exhibitions and cultural events that highlight both ancestral practices and contemporary Indigenous creativity. For visitors there are regular public hours and an admission charge; the site provides general accessibility accommodations and services to welcome people with mobility, sensory or other access needs, while archival and research resources support deeper study of Indigenous art histories.
