The Katsina Doll Gallery is a must-see. The Heard Museum is dedicated to education. Large numbers of schoolchildren visit the museum each year. To accommodate these visitors, the Heard added the Dorrance Education Pavilion to its campus during the expansion, allowing space for classrooms, an outdoor courtyard and a garden of native plants. Special presentations by Native American artists can be seen in a new working artist studio.
Interactive exhibits designed specially for children are also present.
The Heard Museum also hosts many yearly events, including the Annual Guild Indian Fair and Market and the Annual World Championship Hoop Dance Contest. Both are held in the spring. Saturdays at the Heard include music and dance presentations in the auditorium and artist demonstrations. Call for updated schedules. All rights reserved.
