Makah Museum

Cultural museum interpreting Makah history and Ozette archaeological artefacts.

The Makah Museum, formally the Makah Cultural and Research Center, is the place that keeps Neah Bay from being just a scenic road-end. Its core collection includes hundreds-of-years-old artefacts from the Ozette Archaeological Site, along with historic and contemporary material related to Makah life.

Check current opening status before you go, because tribal public-health and access rules can change. If it is open, make it your first stop; the beaches and headlands make more sense after you have some cultural context.
