Smithsonian's America:
An Interactive Exhibition of American History and Culture

	Some of the vast and invaluable collection of artifacts and information from the Smithsonian's storehouse of our nation's heritage can now be examined at home with the multimedia CD-ROM Smithsonian's America.  The essence of America is brought to life with over 700 historical artifacts, photos, documents and video segments selected by Smithsonian curators.  It's an entertaining and interactive way for people of all ages to learn about the American experience.

Over 200 Years of American History
	Smithsonian's America, based on an exhibition mounted at the “American Festival,” Japan, 1994, uses the Smithsonian collections to capture the essence of America, from objects of daily life to prized items like George Washington's sword and Sitting Bull's carbine.  It highlights our ethnic heritage, conflict and consensus in American life and the ways America has tried to live up to its ideals of diversity, freedom and equality.

	Pop culture is here too, in Dorothy's ruby slippers, the costumes of The Supremes and reminders of some of our significant moments in television and the movies.  You'll also find artifacts of politics and protest, fashion, the frontier and air and space technology.

	From the toaster to the Model T, from the Civil War to Civil Rights, Smithsonian's America is more than just the heritage and history of our country.  It's the story of all of us.
