Welcome to Smithsonian Affiliations! Through this website you can bring the splendors of the world's largest museum and research complex into your home. Through the work of our program and the many Smithsonian Affiliates across the country, you can experience the Smithsonian in your own community.

Smithsonian Affiliates are partners in a bold effort to share America's artistic, scientific, and historic heritage. Experience the landmark moments of space flight, the mystery of gems, the beauty of nature, the passion of art, and the march of history - all at your doorstep. We are creating the network that makes you part of the Smithsonian family. Find out how to bring the Smithsonian to your community!
