Description
This image was taken on Memorial Day weekend. it is part of the ceiling of the Potomac Atrium in the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI). One hundred feet in diameter and four stories high, the soaring entranceway celebrates contemporary Native cultures and affords a place for music, dance, hands-on demonstrations, and other forms of Indian expression. Named for an Algonquian phrase meaning "where the goods are brought in," the architecturally stirring Potomac Atrium incorporates many special design features, among them: an artfully woven copper-screen wall; inlaid stone representing fire; and a prism designed to use natural light to create rainbow-like patterns during the day. The dome is a series of rings with the center being the window a modern interpretation of a Tipi.
