Smithson to Smithsonian: Expanding Our Story
Over the course of 175 years, the Smithsonian has grown to encompass 21 museums and nearly a dozen research centers—becoming a global organization working across history, culture, and science. But along the way, not all stories were fully represented. In our second program celebrating the launch of our online exhibition Smithson to Smithsonian, we highlight Smithsonian staff who are working to restore, highlight, and amplify cultural heritage from historically marginalized communities.
