Provides authoritative experiences that connect us to our history and our heritage as Americans and to promoting innovation, research and discovery in science.
The Smithsonian is committed to enlarging our shared understanding of the mosaic that is our national identity by providing authoritative experiences that connect us to our history and our heritage as Americans and to promoting innovation, research and discovery in science. These commitments have been central to the Smithsonian since its founding more than 155 years ago through an Act of Congress signed by President James K. Polk on Aug. 10, 1846, which established the Smithsonian Institution as a trust to be administered by a Board of Regents and a Secretary of the Smithsonian.
