Nice museum on the Native American history and tribes before the pilgrim fathers came! The upper floors about Central America seem more random unfortunately!

HISTORY

The museum was founded in 1866 by George Peabody and is one of the oldest museums devoted to anthropology. It has one of the most comprehensive collections of North American anthropology in the world.
