The center offers engaging experiences for all ages, from life-size walk-through dioramas that transport visitors into the past, to changing exhibits and live performances of contemporary arts and cultures. Extensive interactive exhibits depict 18,000 years of Native and natural history, while two libraries, including one for children, offer a diverse selection of materials on the histories and cultures of all Native peoples of the United States and Canada.

Join us during our Tenth Anniversary Year for a special programs and events throughout the coming fall and beyond. Learn more about the Pequot War (1636-38) in a series of engaging workshops in September. A new special exhibit, “Sisters of the Great Lakes: Art of Native American Women,” opens in the Mashantucket Gallery on October 4. November features a dance theater performance “A Story Before Time” in the Museum Auditorium.
