The Agua Caliente Cultural Museum in downtown Palm Springs stands as a tribute to the rich history and enduring spirit of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians. This 48,000-square-foot museum, part of the Agua Caliente Cultural Plaza, offers an immersive experience into the tribe’s cultural legacy. The museum’s architecture, inspired by traditional Cahuilla basket weaving, blends seamlessly with the desert landscape. Upon entering, visitors are greeted by a 360-degree animation that narrates the tribe's creation story, setting the stage for the exhibits to follow.

The museum's permanent galleries explore various aspects of Cahuilla history and culture, with exhibits like Our Home showcasing the tribe’s ancestral lands and Into the Future displaying artifacts dating back 8,000 years. It also features an educational classroom, meeting space, and a garden. The Museum Store offers Native American art, jewelry, and crafts from artists and businesses across the country, further supporting the tribe’s cultural preservation.

As a cultural and educational hub, the Agua Caliente Cultural Museum is a destination for both learning and celebrating the legacy of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians.
