More information on Department of the Interior Museum

Department of the Interior Museum casts a wide net, reflecting the many concerns of this government agency throughout its history.

But for those who like to start their explorations with details, there are countless artifacts to attract attention, including historical documents, pottery and geological finds. Admission is free.
