museums, zoo, and nine research centers include sites
in New York City, Virginia, Panama and elsewhere. It
has over 136 million items in its collections, publishes
two magazines named Smithsonian and Air & Space,
and employs the Smithsonian Police to protect visitors,
staff, and the property of the museums. The Smithsonian
Institution is the largest museum complex in the world.
The Smithsonian Institution’s National Air and Space Museum maintains the largest collection of historic air and spacecraft in
the world. It is also a vital center for research into the history, science, and technology of aviation and space flight, as well as
planetary science and terrestrial geology and geophysics.
