National Museum of the American Indian

ArtHistoryClosed · Opens 10amFreeL'Enfant Plaza (Metro)

Smithsonian 旗下的 National Museum of the American Indian 于 2004 年开馆,是全美首座完全致力于原住民文化的国家级博物馆。这座五层建筑由 Douglas Cardinal (Blackfoot) 操刀设计,采用 Kasota 石灰岩打造出历经风雨侵蚀的自然地貌形态。全馆依托近 80 万件覆盖整个西半球的丰富藏品,所有展览均与原住民社群紧密合作,以其自身视角策展呈现。馆内核心亮点包括探究条约历史的《国与国》(Nation to Nation: Treaties Between the United States and American Indian Nations)、反思流行文化符号的《美洲原住民》(Americans),以及室外的 National Native American Veterans Memorial。此外,馆内的 Mitsitam Native Foods Cafe 供应地道的美洲原住民特色风味,本身就是一处不可错过的美食地标。
