Located on the legendary Outer Banks of NC, the museum contains a nationally recognized collection of exhibits and natural history displays on Native Americans across the United States as well as the first inhabitants of Hatteras Island.
Grounds include nature trails winding through lush maritime forest.
In addition to the museum's permanent exhibits, a special display of a Pacific northwest coast mask used in ceremonial dances of the Kwakwaka'wakw will be available. The beautiful bird mask (which measures more than four feet across the beak) is on loan to the museum.
Participation in Museum Day is open to any tax-exempt or governmental museum or cultural venue on a voluntary basis. Smithsonian magazine encourages museum visitation, but is not responsible for and does not endorse the content of the participating museums and cultural venues, and does not subsidize museums that participate.
