Your attic may be full of junk, but the junk in the nation's attic (better known as the Smithsonian Institution) is a lot more valuable. The world's largest museum, the Smithsonian houses more than 140 million pieces in 16 museums and galleries. More than 40 million people every year come view its exhibits on art, music, TV and film, science, history, and other subjects. Admission to its museums, most of which are located on the National Mall in Washington, DC (two are in New York City), is usually free. The Smithsonian also operates the National Zoo and a handful of research facilities. The Federal government supplies nearly 50% of its operating revenues.
