The Smithsonian Institution’s headquarters in the National Mall is a red sandstone castle, the administrative office and information center of the Society. The main building was designed in 1965 and the red castle exudes an elegant and classical aristocratic temperament against the blue sky. As an information center, it contains information about all the Smithsonian Institution's museums in Washington, DC, and can get a map of the museums near the National Mall, which are free to visit. The castle itself is also a small museum, with a collection of some representative collections of museums under each Society, which is well worth visiting. Outside the Academy building is a beautiful garden for walking or rest, absolutely not to be missed.

    The Smithsonian Institution's entire building is similar to an ancient castle, some sense of age, and the whole modern city is out of place. From the subway station, you can see the red brick structure building from a long distance. It is conspicuous and easy to find. All are free to the public.

    The Smithsonian Institution Headquarters Building - Smithsonian Castle is a famous comprehensive museum in Washington. It is suitable for going with children. This is definitely worth seeing. After all, there are too many museums here, the building is very beautiful, the garden is full of spring, but unfortunately the heavens are not beautiful. I couldn't give a little yang.

    If you enter through the back door, you can go to the garden, which has many interesting, rare flowers and trees. Before entering the building, you can enjoy the beautiful castle-style building, which is very impressive. Once inside, you will see specimens from other important Smithsonian museums displayed inside. There are volunteers in the castle who can answer questions about the museum and donors. This place is well worth visiting!

    The Smithsonian Institution is the only semi-official museum institution funded by the US government, named after British scientist James Smithson. The fictional Jeffersonian in the US drama “Bones” is based on Smithsonian, but its shape is from the Natural History Museum in LA. I have many museums, all of which are free to the public. Unfortunately, I only went to a national art gallery this time due to time and physical limitations. Back to the red castle of the building itself, in spring, the cherry petals in the garden fell around and the scenery was good. But the interior of the castle is more general, half of the hall is a catering and souvenir shop, and the other half shows some models. In addition, there will be some animal specimens and other displays in the inside, but the overall content is relatively small and the place is a bit empty.

    The building is very beautiful, it looks like a castle in the distance, and it is very conspicuous on the National Mall. The art galleries under its banner are great!

    The Smithsonian Institution in Washington is a museum-gallery research institute in the United States, which is home to the institute and is open to the public from time to time. Here you can see the introduction of Mr. Smithson and the 19 museums he created. After the visit, I admired the practice of setting up museums and galleries in the United States with private donations, and I admired the government's support for such museums and galleries to be named the country.
