This book is a comprehensive and enlightening resource on the history and collections of the United States National Museum, expertly compiled by the museum's Assistant Secretary, Richard Rathbun. The museum was founded in 1846 on the Smithsonian grounds and assumed responsibility for holding the National Gallery of Art over six decades ago. This book delves into the motivations behind the museum's founding and traces its development from its inception to its present form. From the very beginning, the museum has aimed to broaden public understanding about the natural world and human ingenuity through its extensive collections of plants, animals, fossils, minerals, and cultural artifacts. It also houses various works of art, historical objects, and industrial technologies. Over the years, the museum's collections have grown substantially and now include many notable pieces. Its paleontological collection is widely regarded as one of the richest in the world. The author highlights several particularly significant acquisitions and shares plans for the museum's continuing expansion. This book provides a thorough overview of the museum's history, collections, and exhibitions, as well as insights into its role in the advancement of scientific knowledge.
