Blog Assignment #4, Lower Manhattan Trip

Our very first exciting New York City Architecture attraction from the Lower Manhattan walking tour was the National Museum of the American Indian, the George Gustav Heye center, situated within the U.S. Customs House. Located on the south side of  Bowling Green adjacent to the Battery Park, the Museum had been a hot spot of the tourists as well as the multi cultural New York City where they explore the diversity of the Native people of the Americas.

Surrounded by modern International styled buildings, Museum of the American Indian stands out as a giant Greek Revival style building. Decorated in massive Corenthian styled columns, the deep steps at the entrance , the stoned detailed decorations have caught my sight. The exterior of the Museum is competitive to its interior as well. The oval shaped intreior roof was stunning as it was heavly decorated at it’s Best! The interior details of the Museum belongs to Beax-styled architecture. In my opinion  it is well worth to visit the Museum to see the Architectural details of the Historic Customs House that houses the collection. Morever, Battery Park, Financial District, Trinity Church, St.Paul’s church etc. happens to be Museum nearby attractions.
