The Smithsonian Institution, also known simply as the Smithsonian, is a group of museums and research centers administered by the Government of the United States. It was founded on August 10, 1846, for the increase and diffusion of knowledge. The institution is named after its founding donor, British scientist James Smithson. It was originally organized as the United States National Museum, but that name ceased to exist as an administrative entity in 1967.
Termed the nation's attic for its eclectic holdings of 154 million items, the Institution's 19 museums, nine research centers, and zoo include historical and architectural landmarks, mostly located in the District of Columbia.

The Washington Monument, Thomas Jefferson Memorial, Lincoln Memorial and the newest -- Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial - honor leaders and ideals of American freedom, democracy and equality. The World War 2, Korean War and Vietnam War Memorials pay tribute to the men and women who have paid the ultimate price for America's freedom.
Washington, D.C., formally the District of Columbia and commonly referred to as Washington or D.C., is the capital of the United States.
