Christmas 2006 - National Museum of the American Indian

This new addition to the Smithsonian contains a history of native american culture of both North and South America. We spent the better part of a day here and saw only a small part of the complete exhibit. Everything is beautifully displayed and documented to allow the visitor understand the significance of the artifacts and the culture they represent.
