The National Museum of the American Indian—the seven-story Smithsonian Institution housed in the historic Alexander Hamilton U.S. Customs House—increased its public space with the addition of the new Diker Pavilion for Native Arts and Cultures. The 6,000-square-foot art and performance space, which opened to the public on Saturday, is an elliptical-shaped area on the museum’s ground floor with sprung white maple flooring, a 60-foot-long, 15-foot-high curved wall of translucent glass, and cherrywood-paneled walls. The pavilion holds 280 for seated events or 500 for receptions. —Anna Sekula
