Makah Museum in Neah Bay, recognized the nation's finest tribal museum,
welcomes visitors to experience the life of pre-contact Makah people.
The permanent exhibits include artifacts from the Ozette collection, uncovered
from a Makah village partially buried by a mudslide nearly 500 years ago.
Inside the museum you will find a full-size replica long house, and four
cedar dug-out canoes. Whaling, sealing, and fishing gear, basketry and
other tools are also on display, preserved by the unique conditions created
by the mudslide.
The Museum shop contains carvings, basketry, and jewelry made by Makah artists, and a wide selection of prints, books and cards. The Makah Museum is open to the public 7 days a week from Memorial Day through September 15th, and closed Monday and Tuesday from September 16th through Memorial Day. Admission is $5 for Adults $4 for senior citizens and students, and free for children 5 and under. Visa and MasterCard accepted. Group discounts available. Guided tours by reservation only. The Makah Cultural and Research Center (MCRC) also houses the Makah language program which works toward preserving and teaching the Makah language. The MCRC's Education department responds to thousands of requests annually from the Makah and non-Makah groups and individuals seeking information about Makah Culture and Neah Bay community which is available for researchers to use upon request (sometimes an application process is necessary). The Collections department manages the 60,000+ artifacts in the MCRC's permanent collections and researches the artifacts in other museums that may be returned to the Makah Tribe.
