Thanks; we've been to the National Museum of American History not long
ago and last time we went, we went to the Museum of the American Indian. That one was set up beautifully and a couple of the exhibits are astounding the way they displayed them (like the swords, guns and arrowheads). What it appeared to me was that it seemed sparse. It has a lot of exhibits, but seems like between them and in some halls, a lot of wasted space. The building itself is unique with the occular opening at top when you enter. The accoustics there makes it the place to have speakers/drummers/musicians which they do continually. Go, it's worth the trip. I guess I look lowly though...the gift shop people were following us around like we were going to steal something! Same thing happend to me Saturday when we were in one antique store; this little old man (it was the most hilarious thing) was following me since he saw me brushing my hair and going into my purse... every time I'd look at him, he'd quickly pick something up and pretend he was shopping!
