The Heard Museum community invites you to join us in celebrating Indigenous Peoples’ Day with a hybrid of in-person and virtual programming dedicated to the Indigenous communities and voices of Arizona. We are honored to share with you the cultural richness of Indigenous peoples throughout Indian Country. We are looking forward to welcoming guests back to the Heard Museum and are taking stringent precautions to create a safe, clean, comfortable and enjoyable visit. Whether you are returning to the museum or visiting for the first time, we are working hard to ensure not only a world-class experience but a safe one, too. This event is FREE (museum admission not included).
