Smithsonian Museums
The Smithsonian is the world's largest museum complex, home to more than a dozen museums and the National Zoo. See Neil Armstrong's Apollo 11 spacesuit at the National Air and Space Museum, the flag that inspired the National Anthem at the National Museum of American History, or the exotic animals at the National Zoo.
