National Museum of the American Indian

ArtHistoryClosed · Opens 10amFreeL'Enfant Plaza (Metro)

2004an ateak ireki zituenean, herri indigenei osoki eskainitako lehen museo nazionala bihurtu zen: Smithsonian erakundearen National Museum of the American Indian bost solairuko Kasota kareharrizko eraikin batean dago, Douglas Cardinal (Blackfoot) arkitektoak haizeak eta urak higatutako itxura izan zezan diseinatua. Erakusketa bakoitza komunitate indigenekin elkarlanean eta haien ikuspegitik garatzen da, hemisferio osoa hartzen duten 800.000 objektu inguruko bilduma aberats bati esker. Aipagarrien artean daude itunen inguruko Nation to Nation erakusketa, herri-kulturaren berrikusketa egiten duen Americans, eta kanpoaldean kokatutako National Native American Veterans Memorial monumentua. Mitsitam Native Foods Cafe jatetxeak eskualdeko sukaldaritza indigena eskaintzen du, eta bereziki bisitatzea merezi duen gunea da.
