The Smithsonian

Washington DC, USA

The Smithsonian — places to visit in Washington DC
The Smithsonian in Washington DC — view 2
The Smithsonian is a collection of museums and research institutions founded in 1846, with the National Mall's centerpiece being the Smithsonian Institution Building, known as the Castle. Its red sandstone façade and Victorian Gothic style create a striking contrast to the neoclassical architecture of the other nearby museums. Allocate at least a full day to explore the most popular venues like the National Museum of Natural History and the National Air and Space Museum. Visiting during weekdays can help you avoid larger crowds, as weekends attract families and school groups. Notice the diverse range of exhibits, which offer insights into art, history, and science.
