★★★★★Edited 10 months agoUsed city pass was great. Good displays from orient, Africa, Miramar, Polynesia, etc. The North American area could be organized a bit more do that the Coastal, Inuit, Plains, tribes or areas were grouped together not so mixed. Great artifacts of the North American tribes. Bathrooms here were nice and not busy! Thanks from Canada 🇨🇦
