NATIONAL MUSEUM
OF NATURAL HISTORY
arguably the most popular of the
smithsonian museums, so crowds
are pretty much guaranteed. Wave
to Henry, the elephant who guards the
rotunda, then zip to the 2nd floor’s Hope
Diamond, a 45.52-karat bauble that’s said
to have cursed its owners, which included
Marie Antoinette. The beloved dinosaur
hall, centered on the Nation’s T-Rex, is a
must-see attraction.
