Our Universes at National Museum of the American Indian
The National Organization of Gay and Lesbian Scientists and Technical Professionals - Chesapeake Region would like you to join us on a trip to the National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) in Washington, DC, on Saturday, March 20. The museum has a permanent exhibit called Our Universes, which showcases indigenous peoples’ concepts of cosmology–their beliefs and philosophies concerning the nature of the universe. NMAI is part of the Smithsonian Institute, so admission is free. We ask you to RSVP so that we know to look for you at the museum.
Where: National Museum of the American Indian, Fourth Street & Independence Ave., S.W., Washington, DC (see website, above, for directions)
When: Saturday, March 20, 12 pm
Cost: Free!
RSVP: NOGLSTP-CR-owner@yahoogroups.com, by Friday, March 19
We will be meeting at noon in the Mitsitam Café, the museum’s dining hall, for lunch. They have an impressive menu, combining traditional native dishes from the Americas with contemporary items that incorporate native “twists.” The NOGLSTP-CR officers will be wearing name tags to help you find us if you haven’t met us before. We plan to move on to the Our Universes exhibit between 1 and 1:30 pm, and then a general museum tour is available at 3 pm. We hope to see you there!
