Descrição:	Photograph by David Coleman. The National Museum of Natural History is one of the most visited museums in the world and a cornerstone of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC. Opened to the public in 1910, the museum occupies a prominent position on the National Mall between the United States Capitol and the Washington Monument. The building itself, designed in the neoclassical style, features a distinctive green dome and granite facade. The museum's vast collections encompass more than 145 million specimens and artifacts, making it one of the largest natural history collections globally. These holdings span the full breadth of natural history, including extensive collections of fossils, minerals and gems, meteorites, plants, animals, and human cultural artifacts. Major exhibition halls feature dinosaur fossils, the Hope Diamond, the Sant Ocean Hall, and extensive displays on human origins and cultural diversity. Beyond its role as a public museum, the institution functions as an active research center where scientists study topics ranging from deep-sea biology to climate change. The museum employs hundreds of researchers and maintains specialized laboratories and storage facilities. More than seven million visitors pass through its doors annually, making it one of the most popular museums in the United States.
