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.

    Smithsonian Institution's whole building resembles an ancient castle. Some years feel that it is out of step with the whole modern city. A long way from the subway station, you can see the red brick structure building, which is obviously easy to find and is open to the public free of charge.

    Smithsonian Institution Headquarters Building - Smithsonian Castle is a well-known comprehensive museum in Washington. It's a good place to go with children. It's absolutely worth seeing. After all, there are too many museums here. The buildings are beautiful. The garden is full of spring. Unfortunately, the public is not beautiful and the sun is not shining.

    If you enter through the back door, you can go to the garden. There are many interesting and rare flowers and trees in the garden. It's impressive to see this beautiful castle-style building before entering the building. When you enter the castle, you will see samples from other important Smithsonian museums on display. There are volunteers in the castle who can answer questions about museums and donors. This place is worth visiting!

    The Smithsonian Institution is the only semi-official Museum institution funded by the United States Government, named after British scientist James Smithson. The fictional Jeffersonian in Bones is based on Smithsonian, whose shape comes from the Natural History Museum in LA. The Society has several museums, all open to the public free of charge. Unfortunately, due to time and physical constraints, I only went to one National Gallery. For example, the Red Castle of Huixue Headquarters Building itself, in spring, cherry petals fall everywhere in the garden, and the scenery is good. But the interior of the castle is rather ordinary. Half of the hall is a restaurant and souvenir shop. The other half shows some models. In addition, there will be some animal specimens and other exhibitions, but the overall content is relatively small, the place is somewhat empty.

    The building is very beautiful. It looks like a castle in the distance. It stands out in the National Square. The art galleries under the flag are excellent!

    The Smithsonian Institution in Washington is an American Institute of Museum and Art Museum Studies. It is the seat of the Institute and is open to visitors from time to time. Here you can see the introduction of Mr. Smithson and the 19 museums and galleries he created. After the visit, I admired the practice of setting up museums and art galleries with private donations in the United States, and the government's support for such museums and art galleries to be named as the country.
