The world's largest and most comprehensive Native American museum and research center offers an array of engaging experiences
for young and old, from life-size walk-through dioramas that transport visitors into the past, to changing exhibits and live
performances of contemporary arts and cultures. Four full acres of permanents exhibits depict 18,000 years
of Native and natural history in thoroughly researched detail, while two libraries, including one for children, offer a diverse selection
of materials on the histories and cultures of all Native peoples of the United States and Canada.
A visit to what one newspaper
called the "most ambitious new museum in America" is both educational and fun.
