Unearth American history through 150,000+ artifacts including Lincoln’s infamous top hat, a collection of first ladies’ gowns, one of Thomas Edison’s first lightbulbs and more.
When on a guided tour of a history museum, at every civilization, ask whether the men of that era ever had an overpowering urge to dress as a woman and be caressed by a big, strong man.
This place is awesome for people of all ages! From our 18 month old, our 4 year old, and my wife and I we all had a blast. Don't forget to visit the Wegman's kids area on the 1st floor.... a must!
It's good to know that at least during the summer, this museum closes at 7 pm. This way, you can leave it as your last stop and leverage time to see some other museums.
This place is so great. Definitely one of the most underrated museums in D.C. It's free and there are bathrooms galore. Don't buy water out front. Go down the block and around the corner.
Extremely interesting exhibition on The American Automobile industry (1st floor) & American Presidency (3rd floor). This museum and the Space one are my favorite in DC
Somewhat eclectic range of topics on US culture,history.Transport exhibit very well done. Cafetaria has more than fast food, incl. nice salads, but go during meal times otherwise many counters closed.
Elektriğin keşfinden ekonomik dönüşüme, taşımacılıktan göç dalgasına bir çok konuda nereden nereye gelindiğini burada görebilirsiniz. Tamamını gezeyim derseniz 1 gününüz rahat gidebilir ama değer.
I can't say enough about this museum. I feel like we could have spent a day at each exhibit. Definitely check out the exhibit on human evolution. It taught my daughter a lot.
The best Smithsonian museum. A great variety of exhibits. Get there early and see the First Ladies' gowns and the pop cultureexhibits before the crowds. Loved seeing Bob Dylan's jacket!
Honestly, you could stay in here for hours. If you really like to learn when you go to museums, I recommend going alone--unless of course your friends are willing to wait for you to read EVERYTHING.
You can't visit the Smithsonian Museums without stopping here; almost anything and everything you can think of about our [USA] can be found here. Be sure to check out the Star Spangled Banner!
My family and I love pop culture and trekked all the way here to see Dorothy's Ruby Slippers and Kermit the Frog. Bonus: Nine Inch Nails' "Pretty Hate Machine" on cassette and a first-gen Walkman.
So many interesting exhibits to see! Make sure you have at least two or three hours to see everything. Some pop cultureexhibits were nostalgic while war exhibits were heartbreaking.
A good museum, some of the exhibits are quite old and a lot are closed / opening soon. My favourite was the presidents exhibit upstairs, and any proud American should see the star spangled banner.
Pretty interesting museum in that it has a bevy of exhibits. You should easily be able to find something of interest in U.S. history for everyone in your group.
So many great exhibits here! Possibly the best museum in DC that features all aspects of American history such as the military past and present, show business, entertainment, and just so much more.
Anything and everything inside of the museum. Not sure if the wasn't originally called science and technology. Has trains and model boats and presidential gowns
An exhaustive, interactive and powerful examination of where we've been and what has shaped us today. Thoroughly enjoyed the exhibits on America's wars, Presidential History & the Star-Spangled Banner
The original site of the Star Spangled Banner was awesome but it was so dizzy coming out of there. Don't be surprised if your eyes play tricks on you coming out. A lot of 3D neon effects
Places of invention and Food displays. Interesting to see the food processing changes over the decades and Edison /Tesla inventions. Seeing an actual EV1 was interesting. Assumed all destroyed by GM.
This museum charms millions of visitors with over three million artifacts and national treasures that have shaped a nascent American history and culture highlights. 続きを見る

Tuesday, Jan. 21, 2014: Good morning! We will open on time today but we may have to close early depending on weather conditions. Today's programs and events may be cancelled due to weather.
We enjoyed the exhibits. Very nostalgic. Security lines were very long. We returned 2 days later when they weren't as crowded. They were extremely long the first day we went there.
It just arrived today! A 1964-65 Ford Mustang will be on temporary display beginning April 25, 2014, in honor of the museum's 50th anniversary and the car's.
Best exhibit here are probably the transportation and technology exhibits on the first floor. Head to the third floor if you want to see what the First Ladies wore.
The exhibit for Star Spangled Banner is truly awesome. The flag that troops flew over Ft. McHenry that inspired the song is displayed and it's way cooler than it sounds.
Check out Edison's light bulb and Lincolns hat, which he wore when he was assassinated at ford theater. Look out for the "sit down" show on the 2nd floor. Power machines, american story are nice.
A great museum with tons to do, check out each exhibit to see the history of America in different themes. EduConcierge loves the transportation section, and the gadgets!
Did you know the museum has a Victory Garden? A great place to enjoy our #foodinthegarden summer series on Thursday evenings, featuring talks, tastes, and tours. http://americanhistory.si.edu
Opened in 1964 and is one of the last one of the last structures designed by the renowned architectural firm of McKim, Mead and White. Within the National Mall Historic District.
If you want no crowds come in February. No lines and you can take your time. Otherwise, get there as early as possible and start at the flag then go to the top and work your way down!
