After years of planning and months of construction, the new Native American Galleries opens to the public Saturday

The Eiteljorg Museum’s newly redesigned Native American Galleries will open to the public this weekend.

Spokesperson Bryan Corbin said an eight-month, six-million-dollar project will showcase a dramatically different presentation of native art.

“The artworks are organized thematically under the themes of relation, continuation and innovation and really show the tremendous variety of native American art across North America,” Corbin said.

The old galleries on the second floor had the same floor plan since the museum opened in 1989.

“If you have not been to the Eiteljorg for a while, definitely come back and you will be impressed with a totally different design and presentation.”
