<\/div>\nAbout the Museum<\/h1>\n
A diverse and multifaceted cultural and educational enterprise, the National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) is an active and visible component of the\u00a0Smithsonian Institution<\/a>, the world’s largest museum complex. The NMAI cares for one of the world’s most expansive\u00a0collections<\/a>\u00a0of Native artifacts, including\u00a0objects<\/a>,\u00a0photographs<\/a>,\u00a0archives<\/a>, and\u00a0media<\/a>\u00a0covering the entire Western Hemisphere, from the Arctic Circle to Tierra del Fuego.<\/p>\n The National Museum of the American Indian operates three facilities. The\u00a0museum on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.<\/a>, offers exhibition galleries and spaces for performances, lectures and symposia, research, and education. The\u00a0George Gustav Heye Center (GGHC)<\/a>\u00a0in New York City houses exhibitions, research, educational activities, and performing arts programs. The\u00a0Cultural Resources Center (CRC)<\/a>\u00a0in Suitland, Maryland, houses the museum’s collections as well as the conservation, repatriation, and digital imaging programs, and research facilities. The NMAI’s off-site outreach efforts, often referred to as the “fourth museum,” include websites,\u00a0traveling exhibitions<\/a>, and community programs.<\/p>\n Since the passage of its\u00a0enabling legislation in 1989<\/a>\u00a0(amended in 1996<\/a>), the NMAI has been steadfastly committed to bringing Native voices to what the museum writes and presents, whether on-site at one of the three NMAI venues, through the museum’s publications, or via the Internet. The NMAI is also dedicated to acting as a resource for the hemisphere’s Native communities and to serving the greater public as an honest and thoughtful conduit to Native cultures\u2014present and past\u2014in all their richness, depth, and diversity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Information and photos taken from the site:\u00a0americanindian.si.edu<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Address: Alexander Hamilton U.S. Custom House One Bowling Green New York Working hours: Daily 10 AM\u20135 PM Closed December 25 About the Museum A diverse and multifaceted cultural and educational enterprise, the National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) is an active and visible component of the\u00a0Smithsonian Institution, the world’s largest museum complex.
