Dec 11: If you like visiting the Museum, maybe you'd like to be a part of the Museum community?
Established in 1858, the Natural History Building opened its doors to the public in 1910, and is located on the National Mall at 10th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW in Washington, DC. The building is now home to over 126 million natural history specimens and a diverse community of dedicated professionals.
With world-class exhibits, public programs, educational activities, scientists, and facilities, the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History offers opportunities for almost everyone to become involved in the activities of the Museum - from scientific research to business ventures to public outreach.
Opportunities for volunteering, research, and study crossing many educational levels from high school student to senior scientist are available though our academic opportunities and programs. Through these internships, fellowships and other academic appointments the Museum provides a diverse assortment of opportunities to participate and learn.
