Parent Club Meeting on Tuesday 4 August at 2pm in Community Room.


The Smithsonian Institute . . . an enormous museum

June 29, 2009


The Smithsonian Museum is one big museum. It extends for blocks along the Mall in Washington, that is, it is over 2 kms from beginning to end.

The Museum is actually made up of 19 museums and each of these is focussed on aspects of man’s world. As we walked along the Mall we found eight.

They were:

  • National Museum of the American Indian
  • Air and Space Museum
  • Museum Of Natural History
  • Museum of American History
  • Museum of African Art
  • African-American History and Culture
  • National Gallery of Art
  • Museum of Modern Art

Each of these museums is about twice the size of our Australian Museum in Sydney.
