    About the National Museum of the American Indian and
    Smithsonian Institution

    Established in 1989, through an Act of Congress, the
    Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian is an
    institution of living cultures dedicated to advancing knowledge and
    understanding of the life, languages, literature, history and arts
    of the Native peoples of the Western Hemisphere. The National
    Museum of the American Indian is comprised of two premier centers
    for exhibitions and public programs— a museum in Washington, D.C.,
    on the National Mall, and a second museum in Manhattan in New York
    City. The museum also has a collections, research and conservation
    facility, the Cultural Resources Center, which is located in
    Suitland, Maryland. The three state-of-the-art facilities of the
    National Museum of the American Indian make it a leading museum
    about Native peoples of the Western Hemisphere and a popular
    cultural destination for exploring Indigenous cultures – past and
    present.

    The Smithsonian Institution is a unique complex of 21 museums
    and galleries, the National Zoological Park, and nine research
    centers. The Smithsonian is a national and world treasure and is
    dedicated to its founding mission, "the increase and diffusion of
    knowledge." Its exhibitions, programs, collections, and outreach
    touch the lives of millions of Americans every year, as well as
    many who visit us from abroad.
