National Museum of the American Indian

“My husband and I visited the National Museum of the American Indian in New York and we were delighted. The museum is beautiful and very well organized, with exhibits showcasing the history, culture, and art of the Indigenous peoples of the Americas. We really enjoyed the variety of artifacts, clothing, and crafts, as well as the explanations that accompany each piece. The building itself is impressive, and its location across from Battery Park makes it even more special. Plus, admission is free, which makes it accessible to everyone. The museum shop and café were also a nice touch. Definitely a place we recommend for anyone wanting to learn about and enjoy the rich culture of Indigenous peoples. It’s worth visiting and exploring every space!”

“Totally unplanned visit (no queues and no reservation needed) but well worth it. A lot less crowded than the typical high profile museums. Full of historic and cultural facts about amerindians. Very informative and artistically impressive (particularly the glass exhibition). The first floor gallery (native inventions) is a very entertaining hands on experience for kids. Overall, a great museum with free entry located in a wonderful building - not to be missed!”

“Fairly small, but well executed museum of the American Indians. It’s a Smithsonian museum, so it’s free to enter. It is definitely smaller than other Smithsonian museums I have been to in DC, but it was a good afternoon activity. It took us about an hour and a half to see everything. They also have some interactive spaces on the first floor for kids. Despite it being a public holiday there was no wait to enter.”

“This place is so great!they have exhibits from both South and North America. It’s super interesting and informative. Museum is located 2 min away from Statue of Liberty ferries and it is completely free. I have learnt so much during the visit and hope to visit again one day. Highly recommended”
