National Museum of the American Indian

We went to visit the Museum of the American Indian last Friday with Professor Leila.
Wonderful time to know such Museum.
The Heye Foundation's Museum of the American Indian opened to the public on Audubon Terrace in New York City in 1922. George Gustav Heye (1874–1957) traveled throughout North and South America collecting native objects. His collection was assembled over 54 years, beginning in 1903. He started the Museum of the American Indian.
