What to expect
The Yosemite Museum is a cultural and historical museum located in Yosemite National Park, California. The museum showcases the cultural history of Yosemite's native Miwok and Paiute people, with exhibits on stone tool making, basket-weaving, beadwork, and traditional games. The museum also features a gallery with art pieces from the Yosemite Museum collection and other artists. In front of the museum, visitors can touch a cross-section of a giant sequoia tree and see a re-creation of an umacha, a Miwok and Paiute cedar bark house. The museum is accessible, with a self-guiding accessible trail through the re-constructed Indian Village of Ahwahnee, where visitors can learn about significant plants and structures.
