omething magical happenswhen Americans encounterthe treasures that theSmithsonian holds in trustfor them. Citizens view theseicons — many irreplaceable

and rich in national significance — and experience asurge of curiosity, a wave of nostalgia, a thrill of pride.Our exhibitions and programs both engage the mindand stir the heart.

Take the objects in this year’s The Price of Freedom:Americans at War exhibition that illustrate resolveduring wartime — the Smithsonian anchors them inthe context of history and combines them with voicesthat make them come alive.

America is a vast and intricate tapestry, and inthis year’s annual report, we celebrate some of ourmost colorful threads. In September, we opened theNational Museum of the American Indian, whereevery artifact helps tell the story of the NativeAmerican experience, both past and present.

Even as we remain a “must see” destination inWashington, D.C., we also reach out to the millionswho want to connect to our holdings but cannot travelhere. Through programs such as the SmithsonianInstitution Traveling Exhibition Service, we displayour artifacts in cities and towns across America. Our educators translate history, art, and science intowords that even the youngest Americans can under-stand and offer them as a resource to our nation’steachers.

We are deeply honoredby the trust Americanshave always placed in us.They come expecting thebest, and we do not disappoint. Much of thecredit for the fabledSmithsonian Experiencebelongs to our 6,300 staffand nearly 6,000 volun-teers — the thinkers anddoers behind our beautifulbuildings and spectacularexhibitions.

t the foot of the U.S. Capitol, flanked by neoclassical icons, the oldest American culture gains a presence with the newest structureto be erected on the National Mall.

On September 21, the Smithsonian opened the NationalMuseum of the American Indian (NMAI). Nearly 25,000 Native

Americans in traditional regalia joined in an opening day procession down the Mall. At its core, the NMAI recognizes American Indians for their contributions not

only to history but also to modern America. Native American voices helped shape thecontent and look of every exhibition, consulting on which stories to tell and how bestto tell them. In all, 24 tribal communities worked with theSmithsonian to design the museum’s permanent exhibitions.

NMAI Honors the Past, Highlights the PresentThe museum immerses visitors in a tactile, colorful world ofreal people. In addition to a rich collection of historical objects,revolving exhibitions highlight Native American contemporaryarts. The building itself makes a strong architectural statement; thewarm Kasota limestone of its curvilinear façade recalls an Americanlandscape buffeted by centuries of wind and water. Thousands of trees, shrubs, and plants around the museum recall the site’s original landscape and mark theimportance of the Native peoples’ relationship with the environment.

A virtual, as well as physical, museum, the NMAI shares its treasures throughpublications, CDs, and a curriculum guide already in the hands of thousands ofschools nationwide. The museum is equipped with the technology to bring most of itscollection online within five years.

For all visitors, the NMAI illuminates a unique strand in America’s continuingstory. For Native Americans, it is a joyous homecoming.

merica was born through war, and wars have established our borders,protected our freedom, and defined our place in history. The outcomesof wars are part of the American legend, but we are less familiarwith the price we pay — as a society and as individuals — for our landand our liberty.

On Veterans Day, the National Museum of American History opened The Price ofFreedom: Americans at War, the most comprehensive exhibition on military conflictsever mounted. Supported by Kenneth E. Behring, the exhibition moveschronologically from the French and Indian War to the recent conflict in Iraq. An interactive Web site and detailed teachers’ manual extend itsreach beyond the National Mall.

While military history provides the framework, the exhibition’s powerderives from tales of breathtaking heroism and personal sacrifice. Visitorslearn how wars affect society long after formal hostilities end. For example, the Civil War and Vietnam War etched deep divisions in the national psyche,while World War II united Americans in a common cause and establishedAmerica as a world power.

Objects and Voices Tell America’s StoryThe exhibition blends artifacts with voices and interpretations to paint anindelible picture. A Vietnam veteran tells how the distinctive sound ofHuey helicopters signaled salvation to critically wounded soldiers. A 22-inchsection of bullet-scarred tree trunk, a mute witness to the toll of war, is all thatremains of a grand oak after fierce gunfire felled 2,000 Americans in a single day during the Civil War.

Dozens of treasured items donated by Americans, including Medals of Honor, the highest award America bestows for valor in action, make the price of freedom personal. Interspersed with icons from our military past, such as George Washington’ssword and scabbard and General Sheridan’s horse Winchester, these precious possessions help form the mosaic that is America’s story.

hat do letters, ledgers, and bills of sale tell us about the passion behindgreat art? Now celebrating its 50th anniversary, the Smithsonian’sArchives of American Art uses the mundane records of everyday life toilluminate the most individual of human creations. Researchers using the Archives examine how existing conditions affected artists and their art.

In 1954, when the Archives was founded, not a single professor of American art historyexisted. Valuable records that provided context to the story of American art were scattered in every city and town where artists lived. The Archives’ founders set about assembling what became the pre-eminent collection in the field, encompassing more than 15 millionoriginal items.

Documents Provide Insights into the Creative ProcessLetters, diaries, and journals offer insights into the creator’sstate of mind, providing tantalizing glimpses of what liesbehind the art. Sketches and drawings can serve as snapshots,capturing a moment of inspiration. Art dealers’ papers, pricelists, and correspondence establish provenance or markfinancial successes or failures. Records from the historic1913 Armory Show, America’s first exhibition of Europeanmodern art, show how the public was slow to accept thesenew forms of expression.

Often, the collection sheds light on broader American history. Records from theDepression-era Works Progress Administration, which employed many out-of-work artists,tell us as much about America’s hopes and fears as they do about the art. Through a remarkableoral history program, the Archives has interviewed hundreds of artists; these first-personnarratives preserve the accents and inflections that add power to individual stories.

For half a century, the Archives of American Art has preserved the past in a tangible way.It greets the next half century with a multi-million dollar grant from the Terra Foundation forAmerican Art to digitize primary source material, making its treasures even more accessibleto scholars and historians.

Half a Century“We do not attempt to be prophets...only history can sort

ur prehistoric ancestors left plenty of clues about their existence.For more than 60 years, scientists digging at the Olorgesailie sitein Kenya have discovered thousands of their stone tools; butuntil recently, they could find no human fossils. Where — andwho — were the early humans who made those tools?

Then a research team, led by the Smithsonian’s Human Origins Program DirectorDr. Richard Potts, unearthed fragments of an early human skull dated to about900,000 years old. Reported in the July 2004 issue of the journal Science, the discoveryfills in a 400,000-year gap in the human fossil record in Africa.

Understanding the Foundations of Human LifeThe Human Origins Program works in the NationalMuseum of Natural History in Washington, D.C., andin laboratories and sites around the world to betterunderstand the biological and cultural foundationsof human life and the environments in which itthrived. Often, the research takes scientists toAfrica, where we know that early humans lived aslong as 6 million years ago. Until recently though,the fossil record went blank between 1 million and 600,000 years ago.

The team’s recent discovery of fragments — brow ridge, left ear, and brain case — of a tiny, possibly female skull changes all that. Working with these bones and those from other time periods, forensic anthropologists, using the latest tools, can re-create faces from fragments and provide us with a look at the oldest part of the family album.

t the turn of the century, approximately 60 percent of Americanslived on a farm. Today, that figure has dropped below 2 percent.Our every meal depends on food grown on the nation’s farms,but most Americans have never set foot on one.

To acquaint America’s children with their agrarian roots, theNational Zoo opened Kids’ Farm, an exhibition that links the food we eat to the farm,introduces youngsters to farm animals, and teaches them about their care. Young vis-itors help wash cows and groom donkeys in animal care modeled after the daily prac-tices of 4-H Club members.

The exhibition breaks new ground for the National Zoo, marking its first programwhere children can actually touch the animals. Volunteers and staff help introduceyoungsters to the farm’s cows, goats, ducks, and a variety of chickens.

Linking Food to the FarmThe Zoo teaches children that their favorite foods, such as pizza, don’t just magically appear.Visitors learn how everything, from the wheat in itscrust to the cheese in its toppings, comes from thefarm. They spend time in a fragrant garden that suppliestomatoes and basil, and to combine learning with fun,they can crawl through the giant olive on a larger-than-lifepizza play area.

Rep. Ralph Regula (R-Ohio), himself a farmer, introducedthe legislation that provided the $5 million appropriation fromCongress that launched Kids’ Farm. The exhibition covers nearly two acres of Zooground and boasts a chicken coop and a light and airy old-fashioned barn that shelters animals from the elements — and is the envy of cows and farmers nationwide.

usic is a primal force in every culture. We express history in bal-lads, patriotism in anthems, and joy through song. Music is alsoan integral part of everyday life in America. From the syncopatedrhythms of ragtime to the urban strains of hip-hop, music hasalways reflected our diversity.

To recognize the important and growing presence of Latino culture in America,the Smithsonian’s Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage has developed the LatinoMusic Initiative. This multi-pronged program showcases the broad musical heritage of the more than 40 million Latinos living in the United States.

Bridging Culture Through MusicSometimes, a title says it all. Nuestra Música, beginning its first of four years as part of the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in 2004, makes the clear statement that Latino music is our music, the music of America. The very site of the Festival, the National Mall,provides a prominent stage for Latino musicians to gather and forthousands of visitors to hear their musical exchange. Each year,the program will explore different aspects of music from variousLatino communities.

To reach the many people who cannot attend the Festival, Smithsonian FolkwaysRecordings has started Tradiciones, a collection of CDs representing more than 20Latino musical traditions, and a Web site offering bilingual materials. A good readaccompanies a good listen; the CD notes about the musicians and music are so thor-ough that some school districts use them to develop curricula.

The Latino Music Initiative introduces people worldwide to a rich segment ofAmerica’s musical past and present and, in so doing, invites them to learn more about themselves.

he 143.7 million objects in the Smithsonian collections are held intrust for the American people. Millions visit our museums each year,but to provide even greater access for the rightful owners, theSmithsonian organizes traveling exhibitions that take our treasures,artifacts, and research to hundreds of American communities annually.

Every year, the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES) circulatesbetween 50 and 60 exhibitions on art, history, science, and popular culture and has 10 morein production. A special initiative, Museum on Main Street, partners with state humanitiescouncils nationwide to share Smithsonian collections with Americans in remote, rurallocations. Going where people live, work, and spend their leisure time, SITES sends exhibi-tions to local museums and libraries, community centers and historical societies, municipalbuildings and schools, shopping malls, and train depots.

Celebrating the American ExperienceThe Smithsonian staff shapes the scope and content of SITES exhibitions, many of which explore the vitality of the American experience. Highlights from 2004 include exhibitions that celebrate the nation’s history, its ingenuity, and its traditions.

First Ladies: Political Role and Public Image presents more than 150 objects from the National Museum of American History’s rarely traveled First Ladies Collection and illustrates how the role has evolved from ceremonial partner to one of recognized political partner and international celebrity.

Sports: Breaking Records, Breaking Barriers portrays notable athletes from more than a dozen sports who energized and transformed American society,featuring artifacts that emphasize issues such as women’s changing roles and racial andethnic integration.

Doodles, Drafts, and Designs features 74 original sketches and drawings that showcase 200years of American ingenuity and include some of the world’s best-known products — fromturbines to Tupperware — as well as ideas that never got off the drawing board.
