Wordless Wednesday: American Indian Museum


Recently, my family and I got a chance to visit two museums within the nineteen Smithsonian Institution, and this particular museum was the American Indian Museum.  While there, we got a chance to see some pretty interesting artifacts, as well as sculptures.  Here are several artifacts my family and I saw while at the American Indian Museum.

Also, linking up with Crafty Spices for Wordless Wednesday :)

  1. Don't you love History? I'm just baffled how they made that sphere so round without any modern tools. It blows my mind how resourceful and smart ancient peoples were.

  2. I lived in DC during college and my favorite Smithsonian was always the Hirshhorn Museum. I've heard the food at the American Indian Museum is fabulous too
