This is easily the most striking building in the Smithsonian complex. To avoid disappointment, it's good to know going in that this is not specifically another museum, but rather more administrative…Full review by montanapescado

You can see the entire Smithsonian Institution Building in an hour or two, in my opinion. Spend some time outside in the garden and admiring the architecture. Then see the exhibits inside. It isn't so much a museum as it is a visitor center and information center. There are some exhibits and interactive stuff for small children. It is a pleasant diversion, but in my opinion not a main attraction.
