This place is awesome! You can litterally spend a whole day here, they have many things to see and learn about. It is reasonably priced for visitors but if you live in NY, NJ or CT you choose what you want to pay to get in.

This was my first time to be here. The building was attracted my eyes when first time visited New York. Finally I found time to visit this museum this year. Go upstairs will be the entry, and the security will need to scan your bag. Go in the center of the building, you’ll see the amazing oval celing,and amazing paintings around it. And you’ll also see a lot of Native American culture in there, which I never seen before. The painting part of Native American is my favorite, their way to choose the color and the way to describe their story, very colorful and lively. Highly recommend bring your children to there, they will have more way to read the history of Native American.
A well-managed, clean, exquisite museum. Highly recommended if you have an hour or two, or waiting for the ferry to bring you to the nearby islands :) The current exhibition by T.C. Cannon is beautiful and quite powerful. The best thing about it is that it’s FREE. You only need to have your belongings screened for security.
Extremely impressive free museum and should be at the top of your list if you're interested in history/art and need something to do without spending a fortune. If you've never visited the area, Battery Park is next door and the museum lives in the Alexander Hamilton U.S. Custom House which is a historical treasure that has been historically preserved. The museum shares its space with the National Archives so be prepared for a higher than normal amount of security for a museum with metal detectors and x ray machines for bags. Easy to spend 1-2 hours without realizing it. There's even a small interactive family area/learning center that is geared more towards children but is still fantastic and enjoyable as an adult and was the highlight of the entire museum for me. Getting to experience how Native American Indians experienced life and how they hunted or trying to beat my best time for amount of time spent balancing a kayak. This is a must visit for the free price of admission and does not dissapoint!
One of the finest museums in the US. Their collection is so superb, you're left wondering how is the world did they get all this stuff! And that's part of the story. This is all stuff stolen from the Native American people. If for nothing else, then go there just to see how much was stolen from them! While there, you can also spare some minutes to marvel at the architecturally very rich building. Yes, the sculptures too. But the building is just... oh! The neighborhood is great too!
I’ve visited here twice once by myself & with my daughter. She liked it & so did I , just wished I took more pics because they have some great exhibits like the clothing they wore, showed how they lived & survived. The museum ceiling is a beautiful piece of art as well. Great for families, kids & school trips
This museum houses a nice collection of both north and south American Indian artifacts. The rotunda has murals of the famous explorers. The ground floor auditorium highlights the work of contemporary artists.
I came here hoping to find someone that could give me some insights on the archives despite knowing they are closed on the weekend. I then spent several hours here exploring the exhibits unsure of quite what I might find. The truth is: all sorts of visual touchstones. Art from some far northern peoples (I’d become fascinated with the different seafaring First People tribes during a visit to Port aux Choix in NW Newfoundland), to a children’s exhibit on kayaking in the far north and different clothing of tribes there, to art of peoples all over North and South America. I was most enthralled to see pieces of Mississippian art and artifacts from my home region in the Deep South but second only to that were various pieces from the Seminole in the state of my birth.
