Discover the culture and heritage of America's indigenous peoples guided through the museum by your in-app audio tour.
The tour starts in the Potomac Atrium, the heart of the building, where you will get a glimpse into the history of the museum and the life of the Native Americans. Next, you will learn about the Native peoples of the Chesapeake Bay region, now Washington, D.C., through photographs, ceremonial and everyday objects showcased at the Return to a Native Place exhibition.
The third floor also offers family activities where you can enjoy hands-on displays in the ImagiNATIONS Activity Center.
