What’s part man, part fish, and all latex? Find the answer at seriouslyamazing.com, a website that introduces a Smithsonian where questions come alive*.

To help younger, more diverse audiences understand who the Smithsonian is and why it matters, we recently took a new look at our venerable brand. “We want Americans to see our relevance, and to discover ways they can benefit from what we do,” says Pherabe Kolb, associate director of strategic communications. “We want to spark their interest, and offer more ways they can connect to us. We need to speak directly to young people in their own language, and show them we’re not your grandfather’s Smithsonian.”

Using seven characters that give voice to questions the public asks, the Smithsonian’s first-ever ad campaign puts forth a serious message in a light-hearted way. Curiosity is innate and part of what makes us human. The iterative process of asking and answering questions is the basis of learning. And learning is at the Smith- sonian’s core, whether it’s our conservation biologists, astrophysicists, curators, or community educators. As for those questions? We’ve got the answers.

68515.indd 5 4/17/13 3:12 PM A: A groundbreaking event on the National Mall.

February 22, 2012, was a day more than a century and a half in the making. Speaking at the groundbreaking of the National Museum of African American History and Culture, President Barack Obama called it an idea whose time had come. First proposed by black veterans of the Civil War and picked up again by civil rights advocates of the 1950s and ’60s, the museum finally became a reality through an Act of Congress in 2003.

Scheduled to open in 2015, the new museum will be the nation’s only one devoted exclusively to docu­menting African American life, art, history, and culture. Celebrating its groundbreaking along with the current First Couple were the museum’s council members including former First Lady Laura Bush and Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), co-sponsor of the legislation that created the museum. On a site adjacent to the Washington Monument, the museum will honor the extraordinary acts of ordinary Americans and display artifacts ranging from Harriet Tubman’s shawl to a Jim Crow railroad car to Olympic gold medalist Gabrielle Douglas’s memorabilia from the 2012 London games.

“That day was the fulfillment of so many dreams,” says museum Director Lonnie Bunch. “We are building a museum that is about making America better. About remembering those who were left out of history, about finding reconciliation and healing. And it will tell a part of your story as an American, no matter who you are.”

questions come alive / 9

68515.indd 9 4/17/13 3:13 PM A: By boldly going where no museum has gone before.

World-famous astronauts stood at attention. Young children rode atop their fathers’ shoulders, jockeying for the best view. And thousands gathered on April 19, 2012, to welcome the space shuttle Discovery into its new home at the James S. McDonnell Space Hangar at the National Air and Space Museum’s Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center.

Representative of America’s continuing journey in space exploration, Discovery was NASA’s third shuttle to go into service, and it made more flights than any shuttle in the fleet. Over its lifetime, it spent a total of 365 days in space. “Discovery was a versatile, practical vehicle that yielded many benefits,” says Space History Curator Valerie Neal. “It held up to seven crew members, and, like a huge 18-wheeler truck, carried big cargo—such as satellites—into orbit. Discovery launched like a rocket, landed like an airplane, ferried scientists and engineers into space, and provided a laboratory for experiments. It mapped Earth’s hidden contours, and hauled equipment to build a space station. Its crews delivered and fixed the Hubble Space Telescope and restored confidence by returning to space after the shuttle trag- edies. We built the shuttle to make space travel routine. Ultimately, though, we learned it was anything but.”

Recognized around the world as a symbol of American ingenuity, Discovery blazed a trail through space, but important days are still ahead. Even grounded, it will inspire us to reach for the stars.

68515.indd 13 4/17/13 3:13 PM A: African Cosmos: Stellar Arts.

Who knew that every star makes its own sound, each as distinct as a fingerprint? That’s just one lesson from African Cosmos: Stellar Arts, a groundbreaking 2012 exhibition and publication developed by the National Museum of African Art that explored African cultural astronomy and how it intersects with ancient and contemporary African arts.

“African Cosmos emphasizes Africa’s contributions to the history of knowledge,” says exhibition curator Christine Mullen Kreamer. “How have Africans used their knowledge of the skies to chart their course through the physical landscape and to regulate agricultural and ritual calendars? How have African artists drawn on the sun, moon, stars, rainbows, and lightning to create great art?” The show featured more than 100 works of art from ancient to contemporary times that addressed these questions and others.

The collective strengths of the Smithsonian were brought to bear as experts Institution-wide collaborated with the museum on cultural astronomy educational programs. The American Indian museum held a panel discussion on cultural astronomy. The Air and Space museum loaned a portable planetarium for a program they developed about the African sky. The Hirshhorn’s ArtLab+ worked with teens to document the event on video, and an astrophysicist from the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory spoke on Music of the Stars. “The exhibition resonated with anyone who was ever impressed by the beauty of the night sky and wondered about our place within the vast universe,” says Kreamer, “and that describes just about all of us.”

68515.indd 17 4/17/13 3:13 PM A: When math comes alive!

Scientists and engineers do it, for sure. But so do chefs, fashion designers, and special effects directors. We’re talking about math, and from March 7 to June 3, 2012, the Smithsonian hosted Math Alive, an exhibition showing just how math underpins our daily lives.

Nearly 354,000 people—including students from more than 230 schools—visited Math Alive! and, through hands-on activities, saw the role math plays in calculating how tall buildings stay up in strong winds and the size of pipe needed to carry water. “Many children fall out of science and engineering because math is challenging for them,” says Under Secretary for Science Eva J. Pell. “If we can help students see how math has application as they are learning it, they may be more willing to study it and pursue careers that require it. Math Alive! took the abstraction out of math and made it relevant to everyday life.”

To make learning fun, Math Alive! invited kids to ride snowboards in 4-D, design and play their own video games, jump into a fractal dance party, operate simulations of NASA's latest robotics, and test their bridge-building skills. The take-away? Pell hopes “that kids left saying, ‘Wow, that was so cool. So that’s what we are doing in math.’”

68515.indd 21 4/17/13 3:13 PM A: At the National Zoo’s newest exhibition, American Trail.

High atop Washington’s Rock Creek Parkway, America’s emblematic bald eagle and the dark raven immortalized by Edgar Allen Poe form part of a living tableau. Joined by majestic gray wolves, California sea lions, and a seal once trained for recovery missions by the United States Navy, they inhabit the American Trail, a new exhibit at the National Zoological Park showcasing the diversity of North American species.

Highlighting animals back from the brink of extinction, the exhibit makes room for ducks, geese, river otters, and beavers. New pools with below- and above-water viewing access let visitors enjoy delicate sea ballets by the many species who spend time in water. The animals gather on heated beaches, get regular check-ups, and benefit from the best practices in animal care. Designed to LEED standards, the American Trail operates using sustainable practices.

“The exhibit features the ambassador animals of America,” says Ed Bronikowski, senior curator in the Zoo’s department of Animal Programs. “And the rock- and seascapes—reminiscent of the northwestern United States—are exceptional. The Trail tells an American story.” To make learning fun for kids, planners added a “get your feet wet” tidal pool with waves and the occasional water squirt. On a hot summer’s day, it’s the most popular place at the Zoo.
