Description:
The Smithsonian Institution is the world's largest museum and research complex, composed of 16 museums and galleries, the National Zoological Park and additional facilities in eight states and the Republic of Panama. The founding mission of the Smithsonian—the increase and diffusion of knowledge—is carried out through a combination of activities, including public education, national service and scholarship in the arts, sciences and humanities.

As a public trust, the Smithsonian is fully committed to reflecting and serving this nation's diverse and changing society. The Institution attempts to fulfill this goal by embracing the many social and cultural threads that comprise the tapestry of American life and making these resources widely accessible.
