Celebrate Native American Heritage Day at one of our Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian locations!  

While they may share many similarities, such as entry rotundas and amazing exhibits, they are also very different. Our New York location opened in 1994 and is based in the Alexander Hamilton U.S. Custom House, built in the early 1900s. Our D.C. location opened on the National Mall 10 years later. Fun fact: it has almost no sharp corners.  

Video Description: Opening text "Did you know there are two locations for our National Museum of the American Indian?" A clip of the New York Subway introduces a series of clips from inside the New York location, including the entry way, art, and exhibit titles. A clip of the DC Metro introduces the DC location, including the entry way, totem pole, and a pan of the Americans exhibit. End text, "Which museum do you want to explore?"
