Lonely Planet review

This place offers four venues for your wallet to 'celebrate' American history. The main shop has reproductions of old war posters and 20th century newspapers, and an excellent selection of crafts, including Navajo pottery and Inuit statues. Other stores in the museum focus on presidents, music and - in keeping with the museum's latest exhibit - transportation.

The museum also has the Smithsonian's largest collection of books and videos on all aspects of American culture and history.
