The George Gustave Heye Center, the New York City branch of the National Museum of the American Indian, is housed in the former US Custom House at Bowling Green in lower Manhattan. One of the city's greatest Beaux-Arts creations, the building was constructed in 1907 from the designs of architect Cass Gilbert (also responsible for the Woolworth Building). The museum itself features art and artifacts, as well as the history of Indian tribes located throughout the United States. Admission is free.
