Smithsonian Treasures of American History
is a colorful photo book that shows some of the key artifacts that the Smithsonian contains. Most of the artifacts are from the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. Since this museum is currently closed this book makes a good alternative to see the artifacts. It is also good for those that cannot visit the museum even when it is open again. Lastly, it is also a fun souvenir for those that have visited this museum. Reading the little paragraphs about the artifacts is also a good way to get a brief overview/refresher about American History and is much easier to read than trying to read the museum signs when the museum is crowded.
This is an easy to read book and it does not have all that much info in it, but it is still a fun read. It is definitely more accessible a read than most history books because it is not very dense. Plus the info is shown alongside great quality photos of the artifacts related to the four different sections of the book. These four sections are Creativity and Innovation, American Biography, National Challenges, and American Identity.
Basic Information About this Book:
ISBN #: 9780061171031
Publisher: HarperCollins
Year of Publication: 2006
Number of Pages: 119
