I've never even heard of this place and I studied Native American history...of course that was about a century ago!

Excellent slice-of-life shot!

Did you see the show?

Identity by design--such a smart short way to say a big idea.
The girls on the stairs seem to illustrate the idea.

Did you like the place? When I went, the permanent exhibition was closed (and has probably now moved to Washington, D.C.)... It kind of just left the shop where I went CRAZY.

@ tapirgal - Sorry, no...

@ ciel - The Alexander Hamilton Custom House is an impressive building. I spent some time taking pictures of its statues which, by the way, were in part carved by the Piccirilli Brothers from Carrara.

Looks like the kind of exhibition I might enjoy seeing :-)
