The museum is the New York State Museum located in the Cultural Education
Center, Empire State Plaza, Albany, NY 12230. They have a recreated
Iroquois longhouse as well as other exhibits on the indigenous peoples of
New York State.

The Iroquois Indian Museum in Howes Cave, about 50 miles west of Albany
also has excellent exhibits on Iroquois life and art.
