I hope to show through the contrast of the original photo - where native American people are being watched over by U.S. soldiers - and the place of honor occupied by the NMAI on the national mall that our country has made great strides in the last century. How far can we progress in this century?

This monkey skeleton is a detail from one of the exhibits to be found at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History's featured attractions, Osteology: Hall of Bones. This exhibit displays a variety of vertebrate skeletons grouped by their evolutionary relationships.
In the museum's Osteology Hall, you can compare a human and gorilla, bone for bone, count the number of neck vertebrae in a human and a giraffe and observe skeletal features that are unique to reptiles or to fish.

"[The Hirshhorn is] the biggest piece of abstract art in town-a huge, hollowed cylinder raised on four massive piers, in absolute command of its walled compound on the Mall.... The circular fountain...is a grand concoction...that for good reason has become the museum's visual trademark." Benjamin Forgey, The Washington Post, November 4, 1989
Roy Lichtenstein sculpture at the front of the Hirshhorn Museum - Brushstroke, a 32-foot-high–by-20-foot-wide rendition of a dynamic giant brushstroke of paint.
At the entrance to the Air and Space Museum on The National Mall, the sculpture is called Ad Astra ("to the stars").
