ADVANCING AMERICAN INDIAN ART
Admission to school groups is FREE with the support of our generous sponsors! The Heard Museum offers educational tours and optional hands-on activities designed to help students learn more about tribal nations and communities in Arizona and New Mexico and more deeply engage with American Indian art and culture. We offer school tours to grades K-12, Monday through Friday. Self-guided school groups are welcome seven days a week. All guided tours are approximately 45 minutes.
