Mashantucket Pequot Indian Tribe

The Mashantucket Pequot Tribe of Connecticut will plan and complete an innovative exhibit project on the complex histories of the Pequot community, "Pequot Lives in the Lost Century," which will be both a research space and learning center for the Mashantucket community and museum visitors. The exhibit will open mid April 2009 in the Mashantucket Gallery (4,200 square feet) and close early September, serving as a prototype and site for evaluation research, as the tribe continues working on the long-term goal of creating new, experiential exhibits and programs for their museum's second floor exhibit space.
