Lost City Museum 050

The Lost City Museum was built by the National Park Service to exhibit artifacts that were being excavated from the Anasazi Pueblo Grande de Nevada, a site threatened by the waters of Lake Mead as it backed up behind the newly built Hoover Dam. Eventually, when the lake was filled to capacity, about five miles of sites had been inundated or undercut by the water.

Inside the sun-dried, adobe brick Pueblo Revival-style building, visitors can see archaeological-themed exhibits; the museum offers research on the remaining Lost City sites, school tours, and outreach programs.
