Synopsis

Within this book we have tried to summarize the scope and activities of this great complex of museums and scholarly research. As a visitor you may be concerned only with the things you may see, touch, listen to, climb upon, or walk into. But we would like you to be aware of the varied behind-the-scenes elements of the Smithsonian that use the talents of many hundreds of people to bring to your view the objects which some 17 million persons come to inspect annually.
