Episode 54 - For the Increase and Diffusion of Knowledge

This week, Katie and Chelsea take you on a virtual tour of the “nation’s attic,” the Smithsonian Institution. Founded with funds from an English chemist who never set foot in America, the Smithsonian as we know it now is a cultural and educational treasure. From Chelsea’s favorite Air and Space Museum to Katie’s National Museum of American History, join your hosts as they discuss curation, planning your trip, and resources for your students.
