Nurtured over seasons, gardens speak to us of human experiences, old and new. Within a busy urban setting, the Smithsonian Institution's gardens offer sensory delights, environmental habitats, dynamic backdrops for art interpretation and cultural traditions and settings for contemplation and reflection.
The Smithsonian's gardens are living "outdoor museums." All have been designed to complement the museums they border and to enhance the overall museum experience of learning, appreciation, and enjoyment.
Before entering any of the Smithsonian's museums, discover the history, art and science that await you outside the Institution's buildings in its many gardens.
