American History Museum

After leaving the Holocaust Center we decided to check out the Smithsonian American History Museum...being that neither me or my friend are really American history people most of it was not really our area of study...we did find the wars exhibit on the top floor to be interesting, and the inauguration dresses of the 1st ladies on the 2nd floor was interesting to see....but the exhibit we really wanted to see was quite disappointing.

We really wanted to see the pop culture exhibit on the 3rd floor, it looked like it would be great when Dumbo from the disney theme ride sat at the entrance...then with Dorothy's shoes and Archie Bunkers chair just inside the door we expected to see a lot more, but beyond them there was not much. Kermit the Frog & Oscar the Grouch were 2 of the other dozen or so items in this small and over crowded exhibit which was not much larger then average college dorm room. a few dresses from random celebrities, some I had never heard of and a couple pairs of boxing gloves completed this rather small and unexciting exhibit...very disappointing considering how long it had been closed to be revamped and all the hype on the new exciting exhibits...
