Below are some of the highlights of the best things to see at the Heard Museum in Phoenix:
Visit the HOME: Native People in the Southwest exhibit, which features pre-historic, historic and contemporary art, artifacts, and video presentations. All of these elements combine and tell stories about the cultures of American Indians in the Southwest. Be sure to take note of the art fence located at the entrance of this exhibit. It’s made of glass and clay and was designed to represent borders and the conflicting feeling of living in two worlds. Also be sure to check out the collection of katsina dolls on display in this exhibit.

These second opinions are offered through a multi-disciplinary panel of Breast Cancer Specialists and each patient that is seen through the program is supported and lovingly guided by a patient advocate, a breast cancer survivor herself.

Cars being offered up can also be custom-made and can go for what seem like insane amounts of money. The paperwork and background required for such bidders seems to be extensive, but if they are willing to pay those high prices to have the car, then in the end it may be worth it. To each there own as the saying goes.The appeal for “regular” folks is watching people who have that money bid on the different vehicles being offered on the auction block.
In the past, there have been Corvettes, race cars, motorcycles, even a car or two that was used in a Hollywood film. You may have noticed that I included motorcycles, which just goes to show that not all vehicles being offered necessarily fit into the “classic car” category.
Barrett-Jackson is held at WestWorld in Scottsdale. The auction is also held in other cities throughout the year, including Las Vegas. For more information visit:
