Navajo Nation Museum

The Navajo Nation Museum is a cultural institution in Window Rock that houses collections of art, photographs, artifacts, and archival materials documenting Navajo heritage. The building contains exhibition spaces where these collections are made accessible to the public.

The museum was founded in 1961 as a small space and later relocated to its current location in the 1990s. This move allowed for substantial growth in collections and exhibition areas.

The exhibitions display Navajo craftsmanship through weavings, jewelry, and traditional objects that show both historical and contemporary work. These pieces let visitors see the artistic skill and creativity that defines the community.

The museum is located in Window Rock, the capital of the Navajo Nation, and is accessible by car. Visitors should check which areas are open, as some sections may be reserved for research at certain times.

The museum has partnered with film studios to create dubbed versions of popular movies in the Navajo language. This work actively supports language preservation for younger generations.
