Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History

Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History

This museum is recognizable by its green dome, underneath which you will learn fascinating things about our earth. The exhibits inside help you experience the earth's history and parts of it you have never even seen. 

You'll learn more about the land and sea as well as some of the creatures who have and do live here. Through it all, you'll gain a greater understanding of the human connection to our planet. Dinosaurs, ocean life, and curiously-colored gemstones will all open your eyes to earth's wonders. You'll see millions of insects and plants carefully preserved for study. This museum takes you on your very own journey of discovery from soil to sea and back again – throughout history and all around the globe.
