Untitled

Shouldn't there be something about the severe criticism of the DC museum's romantic platitudinous incoherence? http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9E01E4D71539F932A1575AC0A9629C8B63&scp=5&sq=National%20Museum%20of%20the%20American%20Indian&st=cse Blima3000 (talk) 14:11, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

New York City

If I recall correctly, the NMAI was established in New York many years ago and the NMAI was the only part of the Smithsonian outside of DC. Or am I wrong? (Where is the tilde on this darn machine? Paul, in Saudi (talk) 23:29, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

The National Museum of the American Indian's George Gustav Heye Center is in New York. So is the Cooper-Hewitt museum. The National Air and Space Museum's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center is in Virginia. 192.250.34.161 (talk) 15:20, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Suicide in the Museum in November 2013

Should there be a note of this news story somewhere on the page, perhaps? "This was the first apparent death of this nature at the Museum since it opened its doors on September 21, 2004 in Washington." http://nativenewsonline.net/currents/man-plunges-death-museum-american-indian-saturday-afternoon/ http://navajotimes.com/news/2014/0114/010214nmai.php#.VNJBrSwsp_c There were many news stories about this when it happened. I'm not sure if it's appropriate for a wikipedia article on the subject or not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.79.241.252 (talk) 16:00, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
