  • 2011 | Best Buried Indian Treasures Best Secret

    At the bottom of an elevator shaft at the end of a clean hallway in downtown Phoenix's Heard Museum is a basement full of boxes, tubes, and bags. Take a few (very) wrong turns and press a couple of wrong buttons, and you might end up down there -- but don't expect to see anything good without a curator. The basement's main hallway is piled high with books for the annual book sale and years' worth of display cases, forgotten mannequins, and shipping crates full of rare, and often... More »

  • 2008 | Best Place to See Hoop Dancers

    Think of a Hula-Hoop times 50 and you got a whole lotta shakin' going on. Every spring, the world-class Heard Museum hosts the world championships for Native American hoop dancing. It's like a slam-dunk contest for dancers, except that these folks must don traditional dress before they shimmy, contort, and gyrate for cash prizes and the glory of being the best at what they do.

"Thirty thousand books," you sniff. "Hmph! They'd have to add... More »

  • 2006 | BEST MUSEUM YOU HAVEN'T BEEN TO SINCE YOU WERE A KID

    In case you haven't heard, the Heard Museum isn't the place you visited on that Brownie field trip, back in third grade. Sure, the traditional Native American exhibits are still in place (beefed up, in fact), but now you can get modern with other exhibits, like the recent one-man show of the work of Hector Ruiz, a local Mexican artist, or the current "Holy Land: Diaspora and the Desert." The "Holy Land" exhibition's stirred up all kinds of controversy, but isn't that what art's all about Go... More »
