Idaho Attractions

For thousands of years, pottery and baskets have been used for a plethora of daily activities.

Some have specialized purposes, while others range from medicine, food storage, and storytelling. Over time, however, many of these beautiful objects have been lost or destroyed altogether.

As a popular Idaho attraction, the Shoshone Bird Museum Of Natural History, features pottery and baskets with beautiful designs, patterns, and features that were used in ancient times from all over the world. This, in turn, enables us to gain a better understanding and appreciation of where we come from by exploring these beautiful works of art that are just as unique as the people that made them.
