Did you know the Smithsonian once received a book said to be bound in human skin? Or that a Smithsonian scientist donated his own skeleton, together with that of his Irish Wolfhound, for research? These are among the many curious tales embedded in America’s national museum—a place where curators, librarians, and researchers make surprising discoveries every day.

Please be our guest as Dr. Nancy Gwinn, director of the Smithsonian Libraries, presents a fascinating talk on the “Secrets of the Smithsonian.”

Lunch will be provided.
