Mid-Atlantic - District of Columbia
The Smithsonian
( Sightseeing / Museums )
A Karen Brown Recommendation
|
National Mall
Washington DC, DC USA |
The museums collectively called The Smithsonian are named after James Smithson, an Englishman who never visited the United States but left a $500,000 bequest to “found an establishment for the increase and diffusion of knowledge among men.” Your first stop should be the visitors’ center in the turreted Smithsonian Castle to collect a comprehensive map and a daily calendar of events. (202-357-2700www.si.edu) Depending on your interest, you can easily spend a day in each of the institution’s museums. There are also four gardens that neighbor the castle, which, depending on the season, offer a serene respite from the rigors of sightseeing. In the spring, the rose garden is breath taking.
