National Museum of the American Indian in Washington

The National Museum of the American Indian is part of the Smithsonian Institution and is dedicated to the life, languages, literature, history, and arts of the Native Americans of the Western Hemisphere. It has three facilities: the National Museum of the American Indian on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., which opened on September 21, 2004, on Fourth Street and Independence Avenue, Southwest; the George Gustav Heye Center, a permanent museum in New York City; and the Cultural Resources Center, a research and collections facility in Suitland, Maryland. The foundations for the present collections were first assembled in the former Museum of the American Indian in New York City, which was established in 1916, and which became part of the Smithsonian in 1990.More info:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Museum_of_the_American_Indian national museum of the american indian new york native american museum washington dc national museum of the american indian washington dc native american museum ny smithsonian national museum of the american indian american indian museum washington dc the national museum of the american indian native american museum ct newseum national museum of the american indian architect national museum of the american indian address national museum of the american indian facts national museum of the american indian gift shop national museum of the american indian food court national museum of the american indian restaurant national museum of natural history
