Lonely Planet review for Department of the Interior Museum
Responsible for managing the nation’s natural resources, the Department of the Interior operates this small but excellent museum to educate the public about its current goals and programs. It includes landscape art, Native American artifacts and some great historical photos of Native American life, as well as exhibits on wildlife and resource management. Reserve two weeks in advance for guided tours of the building itself, which contains 25 tremendous New Deal murals from the 1930s and 1940s. Adults need photo identification to enter.
