A look back at the history of America and the original American Natives, the museum is a branch of the Smithsonian institution and is the first national museum that preserves, studies and creates and exhibition of the life, languages, literature and arts of the native Americans. The museum works close to the native people that live in America today to reaffirm the traditions and beliefs which help todays society understand these great people.

Exhibitions are held all year round that include dances and music performances, film festivals, school programs and childrens workshops that showcase the diversity of the Native American people and todays American population and the strength of cultures from then to now.

The architecture of the building is amazing and complements the quality of the exhibits it portrays. A onetime US Custom House, it holds a splendid Beaux-Arts design and is right next to the beauty of Battery Park . Inside it holds some beautiful arts and crafts of the Native Americans and the craftsmanship they produced in a time without advance technology is amazing.
