The Smithsonian is the World’s largest museum and research complex, with 19 museums, 9 research centers and 168 affiliate museums around the world. It has over 136 million items in its collections! I didn’t plan to check out all the items on my trip to Washington :) But, I wanted to see some unique treasures, like The Hope Diamond (also known as “Le bleu de France” or “Le Bijou du Roi”), one of the largest diamonds in the World, and a few other items.
