Iroquois Indian Museum
The Iroquois Indian Museum is an educational institution dedicated to fostering understanding of Iroquois culture using Iroquois art as a window to that culture. The Museum is a venue for promoting Iroquois art and artists, and a meeting place for all peoples to celebrate Iroquois culture and diversity. As an anthropological institution, it is informed by research on archaeology, history, and the common creative spirit of modern artists and craftspeople.
The goal of the museum is to have the best collection in the world of modern Iroquois creativity; fine arts, traditional and modern crafts, photography and multi-media. It grows through acquisitions and gifts from the public, including Iroquois artists and collectors. The museum's contemporary collection begins in the 1960s and extends to the present.
