Lonely Planet review for Smithsonian Institute

Huge and often overwhelming, The Smithsonian encompasses 14 museums and galleries in DC alone. The two big drawcards are the Museum of National History and the Air and Space Museum, but leave time to explore the Asian art of the Freer Gallery, and marvel at the earnest patriotism of the Museum of American History.
