I believe they used to be up at Audubon Terrace on 155th street, and since dispersed. I didn’t realize there were multiple Museums of the American Indian.

The yellow building at William and Beaver is desperate for tenants, and they have a couple of open houses every week. (I'm told that the inside is sadly not as impressive as the outside, with a lot of odd quirks about the floorplans.) The old Customs House (on Bowling Green) is one third of the Smithsonian Museum of the American Indian (the other, larger thirds are in the DC area). The exhibition space is a little small, but they've preserved the facade of the building very well; on the inside are some great WPA murals and a pretty majestic rotunda. Definitely worth a visit.
