Product Review
This magazine chronicles the arts, environment, sciences and popular culture of the times. It is edited for modern, well-rounded individuals with diverse and general interests. Each subscription includes a membership to the Smithsonian Institution which provides special discounts at Smithsonian gift shops, world travel opportunities through Smithsonian study tours and information on all Smithsonian events in any area.
With a subscription, you'll get a membership to the Smithsonian Institute, enabling you to get members' prices out of their catalog and gift shops. Support this uniquely American institution and learn a lot in the process. From art to history to the sciences, this magazine covers American life, both past and present. Unlike the Smithsonian museums themselves, this is not exclusively an exhibit journal since it takes its readers to unexpected places and topics. Its a real treat for the broadly curious.
Smithsonian is not just about American history. It has acquired quite an ecological angle in the many years since. There are always insights and photographs into other cultures and other customs.
It makes for a wonderful present. The magazine covers the arts, sciences, popular culture, the environment and historical events, like the extraordinary articles, and illustrations on the Lewis and Clark expedition, with excerpts from the journals kept by the members of the Corps of Discovery 201 years ago! There's also a cool section for kids, appropriately named "Kid's Castle." And as an additional perk, free membership to the Smithsonian Institute comes with the subscription.
