The Smithsonian Museums and Parks. One of the wonderful aspects of Washington DC is that it contains the biggest museum complex in the world. The Smithsonian Institute is a conglomeration of sixteen widely different buildings and parks. Eleven of them are downtown between the Capitol Building and the Washington Monument, lining a large grassy field known as “The Mall.” Four other museums and park are located in various suburbs of DC, easily accessible by the Metro subway system.
