Native American Indian Museum


the Native American Museum is right along the mall between the Air & Space Museum and the Capitol Building....it has a lot of great exhibits if you are interested in finding more information about the various tribes..you have to spend a lot of time standing around listening to the story be told for each tribe though, and the lay out is not the greatest with walls in odd places making it like a maze...at one point we walked into what appeared to be a small exhibit area and it turned out to just be an artist gallery of painting someone did of native americans, most were abstract and you were forced to walk thru the winding maze to get out again...i do not see the educational value in this area of the museum, it belong in an art gallery not a museum about the Native Americans...

Boy do my feet hurt after walking all over today, the nicest thing about this museum was the padded benches placed throughout the building on all of the floors1
