National Museum of the American Indian

Absolutely incredible, a must see in DC! The Museum is much larger than we anticipated, spanning 7 floors. We unfortunately didn’t have enough time to see the entire museum, so we’ll certainly return in the future.

Traveling to the United States, I took the subway to visit the Smithsonian Museum area on weekends, one of which is one. It is the National Indian Museum, one of the largest collections of American Indian art and culture items in the world, including jewelry, pottery, textiles, paintings, statues and more. The museum has several themes, namely "our world", "our people" and "our life". It is not even in shape compared to other museums in the National Mall area of Washington, and its architectural exterior is made of limestone into a curved facade, representing the unique landscape of the desert canyon in the southwest of the United States after millions of years of wind and rain erosion. Outside the museum, there are more than 150 American specialties, flowers, very beautiful, of course, this one has to do with the season. These plants from water lilies to corn stalks, many varieties, interested people can also spend a little time here. This natural landscape also comes to the museum's interior, with plants, rocks decorated everywhere, and a circular performance venue with a wedge-shaped skylight above the head, symbolizing the connection to the sky, with four stone fan-faced sections arranged in the middle. The museum is carefully designed by people, and people interested in decoration and design can also come here. Any museum in this area needs to pass security to go to the exhibition hall. From the gate, you can see the security area. There are security inspection bags. There are security guards to sweep the body with metal detectors. Soon, you can enter after completion. Its security procedures are the same as other museums.

There are fewer Chinese tourists here, and there are many locals. This is flooded by the aura of the Aerospace Museum and the History and Nature Museum. But it is worth visiting here. The architectural design mimics the canyon shape and displays the culture of the Indians.

Indian Museum... It's sad to see that they lived 600 years ago as they did 3000 years ago in Eurasia. However, the Europeans with original sins feel that they have destroyed an ancient civilization...

The Indian Museum is a very good place to understand the history of American Indians. We have a limited time just to visit the section of the introduction of Indians. The content of the introduction is very wonderful, and the exhibition is also worth visiting. The museum is very large.

We were very disappointed. It seemed that there was almost nothing except a few independent booths. Although the exhibition about the South American Inca was very good, that was all. Disappointed that on the way to the bathroom, any information about code Talkers seemed to be placed on a few plaques in an alcove. I won't waste any time here again.
