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.
Most of the museums are located within a radius of about one mile, so you should plan ahead and wear comfortable shoes for walking. The Smithsonian Visitor Center is located in the Castle at 1000 Jefferson Drive SW, Washington, DC. This is a good place to start and pick of maps and a schedule of events.
