The Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center

The Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center is the world’s largest Native American Museum dedicated to the history and culture of the Pequots, the histories and cultures of other tribes from the United States and Canada, and the natural history of New England and North America. Opened in August 1998, this state-of-the-art, 308,000 square foot research institution was established solely by the funds of the Mashantucket Pequot people as a non-profit cultural resource. Today, the Museum is sustained through tribal support, grants, sponsorships, donations and the support of private and corporate members. We offer engaging experiences for all ages, from life-size walk-through dioramas that transport visitors into the past, to changing exhibits and live performances of contemporary arts and culture.
