While the U.S. federal government is partially closed, our museums and the National Zoo will be OPEN through Jan. 1. If the partial shutdown continues beyond Jan. 1, all Smithsonian museums and the zoo will be closed starting Jan. 2.
Sidedoor is a podcast only the Smithsonian can bring you. It tells stories about science, art, history, humanity, and where they unexpectedly overlap. From dinosaurs to dining rooms, this podcast connects big ideas to the people who have them.
