5 reviews of Smithsonian Institution

Among the nearly 20 major museums in the federal capital of Washington, as well as numerous art galleries, the National Zoo and other cultural attractions ... the one we love most is the Smithsonian Institute. Within it, there are wonderful, remarkable museums, and they're completely free! The Air & Space Museum, the Museum of American History, the National Archives and many more await you!

INCORRECT DESCRIPTION

Very beautiful museum

Excellent
+5

The largest museum complex on earth

It is the largest museum complex and research organization in the world. It is composed of 19 museums, 9 research centers and the National Zoo. In 1826, James Smithson, a British scientist, drew up his last will and testament, naming his nephew as beneficiary. Smithson stipulated that, in the event of his death, that the property should be "in the United States of America, to be found in Washington, under the name of the Smithsonian Institution, as center for the increase and diffusion of knowledge among men."
