The Smithsonian Institute makes this statement about

American Identity
“Many of the National Museum of American

History’s treasures give insight into what it has meant to

be an American.
Culturally, Americans have defined themselves in

many ways—through artistic expression, ethnic

traditions, work and play, and home and community

life. The Museum’s collections reflect the diverse roots

of American culture as well as common experiences

shared across lines of race, ethnicity, and region.”
