National Museum of the American Indian

We also visited the National Museum of the American Indian, a relatively new Smithsonian museum that I had toured after it first opened. I remember not liking it much then, and still am not enamored with it, although some of the displays are interesting.

Inside the Chinese Pavilion, posted earlier:

It is a very interesting looking building even if the inside isn’t too fascinating. Great capture of the curves. V

I don't think it looks like anything that makes me think of Indians. Even cliff dwellers. Cool architecture, but not what I would expect. Great photo though. V

so curvaceous...native Americans had a rich culture, so there should be compelling displays inside too..

Interesting architecture but doesn't look at all American Indian to me!

Unique architecture suggestive of the clift dwelling tribes of the SW. Vote.
