The National Museum of the American Indian opens in just a few days on the National Mall in Washington, DC. The building itself is strikingly different from the marble halls that surround it, and its grounds evoke Native landscapes right in the center of Washington — with 28,000 plants trucked in from all over the continent. Studio 360’s own Ave Carrillo took a peak at the new National Museum while it was still under construction.
