What I love most about this museum is the mix of low & high brow. Archie Bunker's hat and the original Kermit the Frog in the same collection as the Gunboat Philadelphia and the Star Spangled Banner. All a part of our history and something to interest everyone: Even Julia Child's kitchen! It's worth a visit (or two or three!).

All in the family
Recognize these easy chairs? No, they're not from your local thrift store! These are the chairs of Archie & Edith Bunker (Carroll O'Connor and Jean Stapleton) from the long running tv series, All in the Family (1971-1979). These items join the list of hundreds of important artifacts of American Culture at the Smithsonian's American History Museum

It's always thrilling to visit the American History Museum.
All in the Family was and still is a great show.
Julia's kitchen is by far my favorite exhibit at the Smithsonian.
Absolute most fun museum at the Smithsonian...XXOO
The what would JC do kitchen is high on my list for my next visit, but then I am a dingbat. Kermie will always be green in my heart.
I can't believe I've never been there.
WOW! Thanks For sharing such kind of information
