The Smithsonian Institution—the world’s largest museum and research complex—includes 19 museums and galleries and the National Zoological Park. Currently, the total number of artifacts, works of art and natural science specimens in the Smithsonian’s collections is approximately 155 million. The bulk of this material—more than 145.8 million specimens and objects—is part of the National Museum of Natural History. In addition, Smithsonian collections include 162,000 cubic feet of archival material and 2.1 million library volumes.
Among the vast collections are irreplaceable national icons, examples of everyday life and scientific material vital to the study of the world’s scientific and cultural heritage. The objects in Smithsonian collections range from insects and meteorites to locomotives and spacecraft. The scope is staggering—from a magnificent collection of ancient Chinese bronzes to the Star-Spangled Banner; from a 3.5 billion-year-old fossil to the space shuttle Discovery; from the ruby slippers featured in The Wizard of Oz to presidential paintings and memorabilia. Collection items vary in size, from the Concorde at 202 feet to the Fairfly wasp at .0067 of an inch. The largest single collection is Natural History’s invertebrate zoology collection with more than 49.8 million specimens, ranging from corals and vent worms to parasites and squid.
Only a small portion of the Smithsonian’s collections (estimated at less than 1%) is on display in the museums at any given time. Many collections are acquired and solely used for research purposes utilized by scientists and scholars from all over the world. Whether they are acquired from the depths of the oceans, tropical rainforests, archaeological sites, everyday life, or even extra-terrestrially, Smithsonian collections are preserved and maintained for public exhibition, education, and study.
Collection of more than 21 million items includes letters, writings, scrapbooks, sketchbooks, photographs, financial records, film and primary sources amassed or created by artists, critics, collectors, art dealers and others. Also includes an oral history collection of more than 2,200 interviews of art world figures and 6,200 collections of personal papers and organizational records documenting the history of the visual arts in the United States.
Collections are international in scope and span more than 2,000 years, dating from China’s Han dynasty to the present with holdings of furniture, metalwork, glass, ceramics, jewelry, woodwork, embroidery, woven and printed textiles, lace, and wallcoverings, with areas of interest in graphic design, industrial design and architecture. The museum also has one of the largest collections of drawings in the United States and a large collection of prints, including examples of architectural drawings, advertising, and fashion, theater, and interior design.
The collections of the Freer Gallery of Art spans 6,000 years and many different cultures, dating from Neolithic times to the early 20th century, reflecting the taste of its founder, Charles Lang Freer (1854–1919). Works of art from Asia (representing the creative traditions of China, Japan, Korea, South and Southeast Asia, and the West and examples of ancient Egyptian and early Christian art) include paintings, sculptures, metal ware, ceramics, manuscripts and lacquer ware. The museum also houses 19th- and early 20th-century American art, including the world’s largest number of works by James McNeill Whistler and the famed Peacock Room.
The collections of the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery include some 1,000 works of Asian art (early Chinese bronzes and jades, Chinese paintings and lacquer ware, ancient Near Eastern ceramics and metal works, and sculpture from South and Southeast Asia) donated by Arthur M. Sackler (1913–1987). The collections have expanded and now include the Vever Collection; 19th- and 20th-century Japanese prints and contemporary porcelain; Indian, Chinese, Japanese and Korean paintings; arts of rural India; contemporary Chinese ceramics; photography; and the Robert O. Muller collection of 19th- and 20th-century woodblock prints.
Collection of modern and contemporary art—paintings, sculptures and works on paper—includes a nucleus of works given or bequeathed to the Smithsonian by founding donor Joseph H. Hirshhorn (1899-1981). Works of art of American and European cubism, Social Realism, Surrealism, Geometric Abstraction, and Expressionism trace modern art past the mid-20th century to contemporary works from Pop art of the 1960s to recent acquisitions by emerging artists working in a variety of media.
Collection contains objects dating from antiquity to the present, including traditional masks and figures, textiles, costumes and jewelry, furniture and household objects, and architectural elements, as well as modern sculpture, paintings, prints, and ceramics. The collection also includes the Eliot Elisofon Photographic Archives, with more than 300,000 photographic prints and transparencies of African art and field photographs depicting life and art in Africa, 100,000 feet of unedited film footage, and videos and documentary films on African art.
Collection comprises paintings, prints, sculptures, photographs drawings, and new media of Americans who have made important contributions to the nation, from pre-colonial times to today. The collections hold more than 1,600 portraits of the U.S. presidents, some 5,400 glass-plate negatives from the studios of Mathew Brady, and original artwork from over 2,100 Time magazine covers.
The museum’s collection features American art from all periods—Colonial to contemporary—in all media, including painting, sculpture, works on paper, photography, and time-based media art. More than 7,000 artists are represented in the collection, including major masters, and contains the largest collection of New Deal art and exceptional collections of contemporary craft, American impressionist paintings and masterpieces from the Gilded Age. The Renwick Gallery features 20th-century American crafts.
Collections include historical artifacts, works of art, photographs, documents and paper records, and audiovisual media that explore and describe local, regional and national communities, including extensive research and documentation material of the history and community life of the east-of-the-river DC neighborhoods.
The collection focuses on 19th-century decorative arts, furniture and furnishings, and objects that support the interpretation of the Smithsonian (Castle) and Arts and Industries buildings.
The center is home to the Ralph Rinzler Folklife Archives and Collections, a public resource named for the founding director of the Smithsonian Folklife Festival. Collections are global in perspective, covering world ethnic performance traditions, spoken word recordings, sounds of science and nature, occupational folklore, and family folklore. The collections are strong in American, and more specifically Euro-American, African American, Caribbean and Native American musical and performance traditions.
Collection includes full-size planes, missiles, satellites, spacecraft and thousands of smaller items like engines, space suits, instruments, balloons, memorabilia, clothing, artwork, awards and models documenting the history of aviation and space flight, including historic artifacts such as the 1903 Wright Flyer, Apollo 11 Command Module Columbia, and the space shuttle Discovery. Objects range in size from Saturn V rockets to jetliners to gliders to space helmets to microchips. The archival collection includes photographs, manuscripts, technical drawings, documents, film and oral histories spanning the history of flight.
Collection represents the Native peoples of the Western Hemisphere from the Arctic Circle to the tip of Tierra del Fuego and spans more than 12,000 years of Native heritage. Ranging from ancient Paleo-Indian points to contemporary fine arts, the collections include works of aesthetic, religious, and historical significance as well as articles produced for everyday use. Current holdings include all major culture areas of the Western Hemisphere, representing virtually all tribes in the United States, most of those of Canada, and a significant number of cultures from Middle and South America and the Caribbean. Collection includes fine carvings in wood, horn and stone from the Northwest Coast of North America; dance masks from the American Southwest; textiles from Peru, Mexico and the Navajo area of the United States; basketry from the American Southwest and Southeast and from Peru; pre-Columbian gold work from Mexico and Peru; jade objects made by the Olmec and the Maya; Inuit carved masks; Aztec mosaics; feather work from the Amazon; and painted hides and garments from the North American Plains.
Collection includes works of art, historical artifacts, photographs, moving images, archival documents, electronic data, audio recordings, books and manuscripts that document the history and development of the African American experience in its many aspects. Collections cover such subjects as the era of slavery, the period of Reconstruction, the Harlem Renaissance, and the civil rights movement, and that reflect the historical and cultural links of African Americans to the African diaspora such as in the Caribbean, Latin America and Canada.
Collection is the largest and most comprehensive collection of stamps and philatelic material in the world—including prestigious U.S. and international postal issues and specialized collections, archival postal documents and three-dimensional objects that trace the evolution of the postal services.
The Archives contains the official records—paper and digital—of the Smithsonian, as well as personal papers, special collections, records of professional societies, and oral/video histories of the Smithsonian.
Collection is the world’s most extensive collection of natural history specimens and human artifacts, ranging from fossilized pollen to bones of Tyrannosaurus rex, algal samples to a slab of a giant sequoia tree, tiny crustaceans to giant squid, DNA samples to whale skulls, ancient spear points to Chinese shoes, and the Hope Diamond to Moon rocks (in the following departments):
The Zoo’s living collection represents nearly 400 species, of which about a quarter are endangered or threatened. Species include mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish. The Zoo’s Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute, located at Front Royal, Virginia, is a breeding preserve for rare and endangered species.
Collections include over 100,000 photographic images documenting historic and contemporary American gardens, antique and contemporary garden furniture and ornaments, seed boxes and seed packets, advertising cards, posy holders, floral frames, related to the florist trade, and a significant collection of over 8,000 orchids specimens, both species and hybrids.
The Libraries’ collections includes books and manuscripts, along with over 400,000 pieces of ephemera, microfilm, photographic collections and audio visual material, housed in 21 specialized research libraries in Washington, Maryland, New York and Panama. The libraries span the range of scientific and cultural pursuits of humanity from aerospace, anthropology, and art history to business history and botany, cultural history, design, philately, zoology and much, much more.
The acquisition of collections is fundamental and critical to the mission and vitality of the Smithsonian. Most collection items are donated to the Smithsonian by individuals and private collectors or through transfers from federal agencies such as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the U.S. Postal Service and others. Thousands of items also come to the Smithsonian through field expeditions, bequests, purchases, and exchanges with other museums, and, in the case of living plants and animals, by propagation and birth. Collections must and do continuously grow to support the Smithsonian’s mission and programmatic goals. Ever-evolving collections ensure the ability of the Smithsonian to tell and share our nation’s continuing story in all its dimensions—across history, art, science, and culture. They contribute to global innovation and document the world’s forever changing cultural and scientific heritage from one generation to the next.
In doing so, the Smithsonian requires responsible, disciplined acquisition of collections based on stringent acquisition evaluation criteria. In order to provide responsible management of the collections, potential acquisitions undergo a rigorous selection and review process. The following criteria are considered during the review and evaluation of potential acquisitions: consistency with the museum’s mission, programmatic goals, and collections plan; the quality, size, physical condition, intellectual value, and significance of the collection item; the documentation of legal title and provenance; the potential for use in exhibition, education, and research; and the ability and costs to provide appropriate management, care and accessibility of the collection item, including conservation, long-term preservation, digitization, and storage. Because of this rigorous selection process, the Institution acquires only a small percentage of what is offered to the Smithsonian.

Oregon's Sea Lion Caves are the only known mainland rookery and wintering home of the Stellar Sea Lion. The system of sea-level caves also provide sanctuary for the California Sea Lion and serve as a resting place for a variety of birds, from Tufted Puffins to Bald Eagles. There's even a whale watching deck from which visitors can see Gray Whales and migrating orcas.
The caves were discovered by Captain William Cox in 1880, but have only been open to the public since 1932, as the cliffs and lack of roads made it difficult to access the caves by land. Today, visitors can access the caves via their gift shop off of U.S. 101.

The only specialized zoo in India and the largest high-altitude zoo in India, Padmaja Naidu Himalayan Zoological Park (a.k.a. Darjeeling Zoo), specializes in breeding animals for alpine conditions, including Snow Leopards, Tibetan Wolves, Red Pandas, and Himalayan Newts. The zoo is also home to Blue Sheep, Blood Pheasants and Bhutan Grey Peacock Pheasants, Satyr Tragopans, and Himalayan Monals.
The zoo was established in 1958 as the Himalayan Zoological Park. It was renamed in 1975 when then-Prime Minister Indira Gandhi dedicated the zoo to the memory of Padmaja Naidu, the former governor of West Bengal.
The Tisch Family Zoological Gardens in Jerusalem, also known as Jerusalem Biblical Zoo, highlights a collection of animals featured in the Hebrew Bible. The narrow focus has been difficult for the zoo to maintain, since many of the Bible's animals are now extinct in Israel. The terms used in the Bible to name animals are also somewhat ambiguous, leading to some uncertainty over which animals are actually discussed. The zoo now includes a variety of endangered species in addition to the biblical animals, and it has become known for its breeding programs, which have enabled it to reintroduce at least 11 species to Israel's nature reserves.
Since its inception in 1940, the zoo has moved several times, but today it resides in the Malha valley. The two-level park includes trees and shrubs mentioned in the Bible, an artificial wall called Moses' Rock, and a "two-story, boat-shaped wooden visitor's center meant to resemble Noah's Ark."
In 1966, a public park and petting zoo called Old MacDonald's Farm opened in Hampton, Virginia. Designed like a working farm, the park showcases farm animals and fowl as well as Virginia-native wild animals. Now known as Bluebird Gap Farm, the park intends to expose kids to animals in a farm setting, to which they would otherwise have very little exposure.
In addition to the animals, the park showcases both modern and antique farm equipment, the original Hampton train station, a family cemetery, a demonstration garden, and an Azalea Trail featuring rare azaleas.
The U.S. is home to at least 35 butterfly gardens, homes, and exhibits, but the oldest is Florida's Butterfly World, which opened in 1988. (Butterfly World also holds the distinction of being the world's largest butterfly park.) Butterfly World serves as a public attraction, research facility, and butterfly farm.
In addition to approximately 5,000 live butterflies, the park also houses the U.S.'s largest free flight hummingbird aviary, an enclosure in which visitors can feed Lorikeets, tropical birds, botanical gardens, a Bug Zoo with live bugs, and an Insectarium of mounted bugs and butterflies.
New Jersey is home to Popcorn Park Zoo, a sanctuary for abandoned, injured, ill, exploited, abused and elderly animals. The small zoo—housing just 200 animals on 7 acres—has been nurturing rescued animals since 1977. The animals range from foxes, geese, and deer to lions, tigers and bears (oh my!). They also have rescued dogs and cats that are available for adoption.
When I was a child visiting the park with my grandparents, my favorite animal was an elephant with an injured trunk, who was followed around the park by a little troop of ducklings. The elephant would use its trunk to pet and herd the ducklings.
Pana'ewa Rainforest Zoo & Gardens in Hilo, Hawai'i, is the only U.S. zoo located in a rainforest. At just 12 acres, Pana'ewa is a small zoo, but it boasts a popular white Bengal Tiger named Namaste, who was given to the zoo by the Las Vegas magician Dirk Arthur.
The free zoo is home to more than 80 different animal species, a petting zoo, and a butterfly house.
Australia, naturally, is home to the world's oldest and largest koala sanctuary, Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. In addition to the koalas, the sanctuary is also home to other Australian animals, including kangaroos, Tasmanian devils, wombats, echidnas, parrots and cockatoos, reptiles, and a platypus.
Visitors have the rare privilege of being able to hold koalas for a fee. They can also feed and pet free-roaming kangaroos and feed nectar to lorikeets.
The International Centre for Birds of Prey is located in Gloucestershire, England, and houses some 60 species of owls and other birds of prey. At any given time, the Centre has about 20 to 40 trained birds residing in its Hawk Walk, an assortment of birds that rotates throughout the year to give the birds a break from the spotlight. The trained birds are used in flying demonstrations at the ICBP.
The Centre was originally established in 1967 as the Falconry Centre by the Glasier
