Smithsonian Institution

Read a random definition: false answer

A quick definition of Smithsonian Institution:

The Smithsonian Institution is a group of people who study and learn about many different things like science, art, and history. They have a lot of cool things like old artifacts, paintings, and even animals that they keep safe and share with people all over the country. They also teach people about these things and work with other countries to learn even more. It was started a long time ago because a man named James Smithson wanted to give his money to the United States to help people learn and discover new things.

A more thorough explanation:

The Smithsonian Institution is an independent trust of the United States that conducts scientific and scholarly research, publishes its findings, and maintains over 140 million artifacts, works of art, and scientific specimens for study, display, and circulation throughout the nation. It also engages in educational programming and international cooperative research.

The institution was established in 1846 to fulfill the wishes of James Smithson, a British scientist who left his entire estate to the United States. The Smithsonian is responsible for preserving and sharing important cultural and scientific resources with the public.

Examples of the Smithsonian's work include:

  • Researching the effects of climate change on ecosystems
  • Displaying the original Star-Spangled Banner flag at the National Museum of American History
  • Hosting educational programs for students and teachers
  • Collaborating with international partners to study biodiversity in the Amazon rainforest

These examples illustrate the diverse range of activities that the Smithsonian engages in to further scientific and cultural knowledge.
