I am a member of the Smithsonian Institution because I believe in their mission and I want everyone to have access to this American treasure.

I love the dinosaur exhibit and of course the Hope Diamond is cool. The live butterfly exhibit is a great experience too. Everyone can find something to love about this place. Check it out! :-)
