Visiting the Smithsonian. Welcome to the Smithsonian. When you visit the Smithsonian, youâre entering the worldâs largest museum, education, and research complex, with approximately 154 million artifacts and specimens in its trust for the American people.
Choosing Museums. Decide in advance which Smithsonian museums you will visit. A thorough examination of the contents of a single museum would easily fill a month, but two days per museum is enough to satisfy most visitors. If time is short, it is possible to take a cursory walk through one of the museums in less than a day, provided you do not linger.
