Department of the Interior Museum

The Department of the Interior Museum is the museum known for holding natural and cultural objects in trust for American public.

With over 150 million objects and documents, Interior's collections run the gamut from art to zoology.

Museum collections are held by all of the Department's bureaus and the Office of the Secretary. The Interior Museum Program supports cooperative efforts among DOI bureaus, other Federal agencies, and non- Federal partners to manage museum collections for maximum benefit to the public and the Department.

This museum casts a wide net, reflecting the many concerns of this government agency throughout its history. From mining to regional history, from national parks to Native- American art, the displays here provide a composite of that nebulous concept, the U.S. "interior.”

Admission is free.
Mon- Fri- 8am to 5pm
