    The Malki Museum in Banning, California, offers visitors an educational experience focused on the culture and history of the Cahuilla people. Located on the Morongo Indian Reservation, this small museum provides insights into Native American life in the region. Exhibits showcase traditional artifacts, basketry, and tools, giving a glimpse into the Cahuilla's rich heritage.

    Visitors appreciate the museum's efforts to preserve and share Native American culture, with many finding the displays informative and well-presented. The outdoor area, which includes native plants and a replica of a traditional Cahuilla house, adds depth to the experience. Some guests particularly enjoy the guided tours, praising the knowledgeable staff for their passion and willingness to answer questions.

    However, the museum's size is noted as a limitation by some visitors, who feel that the exhibits could be more extensive. A few reviewers mention that the facility could benefit from updates or renovations to enhance the overall experience. Despite its modest scale, most visitors find value in the museum's cultural significance and educational content.

    The gift shop, though small, receives positive mentions for its selection of authentic Native American crafts and books. Occasional events and workshops focused on traditional skills like basket weaving are highlighted as engaging additions to the museum's offerings.
