The Yosemite Museum, located in the heart of Yosemite Village, is an excellent place to learn about the history and culture of this stunning region.

There are also exhibits on Native Americans’ religious beliefs, customs, language and way of life. An interactive learning center provides hands-on activities such as making fire with stones or building a shelter out of natural materials found in the Valley.
Other highlights include displays on early settlers in Yosemite Valley, John Muir’s influence upon conservation efforts, incredible photographs by Ansel Adams as well as models that demonstrate how glaciers formed many landforms in Yosemite National Park today. The museum also hosts various educational programs such as lectures or slide shows that provide insight into different aspects of Yosemite's rich cultural heritage.
