Native American Art
The Museum’s collection of Native American art can be seen on the first floor of the Krannert Pavilion. The collection focuses on the art of indigenous people of America, especially from the Northwest Coast and Southwest regions, and holdings of Caddo people in Texas and stone Archaic objects. Ancient objects are mingled with contemporary pieces.
