Smithsonian Store

"The products offered by SmithsonianStore.com (the Smithsonian Catalogue Online) reflect the vast collections in our museums and the National Zoo. All products, including jewelry, furniture, fine gifts, textiles and toys, are reproductions or adaptations of the Smithsonian Institution’s artifacts, archives, collections and exhibitions. All of the profit from your purchase directly supports the Smithsonian. Through your investment in the Institution, we are able to mount new exhibitions and allow them to travel to communities across the country; we can launch exciting public programs and innovative educational outreach initiatives; and we can continue to strive to accomplish our mission. None of the public accomplishments of the Smithsonian are possible without your private support. Although we receive significant annual support from Congress, the support we receive from private individuals like you makes our program possible." - www.smithsonianstore.com
