Makah Museum, Native American museum in Neah Bay, United States
The Makah Museum displays over 60,000 artifacts including whaling equipment, fishing gear, basketry, and traditional tools of the Makah Indian Nation.
The museum opened in 1979 to preserve and present artifacts discovered at the Ozette Archaeological Site, where a mudslide buried a village centuries ago.
The museum houses a complete replica of a traditional longhouse, four cedar dugout canoes, and exhibits demonstrating the daily activities of pre-contact Makah life.
The museum operates seven days per week from 10 AM to 5 PM, with adult admission at $10 and student or senior citizen entry at $8.
The museum's collection includes preserved items between 300 and 500 years old, recovered from a village that remained untouched until its discovery in 1970.
