Recommended - very informative
This is a small museum so don't expect much, but what is offered is well worth the visit to the free museum. The gentleman who greeted us took our temperatures and told us some things of the Comanche Nation - from the past and from today. Very informative! Thank you! We went into the museum and were told not to take pictures of the artwork on the walls. So, we didn't take pictures inside. Being a small museum, we were in and out in about 20 minutes. And I just had to get two of the "coins" that were imprinted with Comanche Nation pictures. We went to the gift shop and spent that much time there looking around and purchasing some things. Everyone there was very nice and I'd recommend this museum to anyone. Just next door is the Museum of the Great Plains, so you can make a long afteroon visiting the two.

A must see
The Comanche Cultural Center is a masterful display of the tribe's history and culture. As you enjoy the live performances, the narrated museum display, and the outdoor village you feel emerced in the Comanche way of life and their unique traditions. Great for the whole family!

educational Comanche tribute
A short walk from the Museum of the Great Plains, the Comanche National Museum and Cultural Center was a small but interesting place that honored Comanche culture. The art was inspiring. The explanations of Comanche family, religious, and aesthetic concepts helped me to understand their culture. The exhibit on the Comanche code users during WWII helped me to appreciate the immense service they provided to the US despite its past mistreatment of them. The museum merits a short visit to better understand this major Native American culture.
