SUMMARY:Smithson’s Gamble: A Virtual Talk about The Incredible History Behind the World’s Largest Museum with Smithsonian Curator Emeritus Tom Crouch
DESCRIPTION:Tom D. Crouch\, a Smithsonian veteran of almost 45 years\, paints a robust picture of a unique American establishment and its lasting legacies in his book Smithson’s Gamble.\n\nFollow the fascinating growth and development of the world’s largest museum and research complex during its first 60 years. Told in rich detail\, Smithson’s Gamble reveals how\, as it defined a role rooted in curiosity and exploration\, the Smithsonian helped to shape the nation’s developing identity.\n\nThe Smithsonian evolved from a small\, narrowly focused organization into an institution leading the way in fields from astrophysics to zoology. Smithsonian researchers\, and the hundreds of citizen scientists who they recruited\, created a collection that documented the natural and human history of a continent. The American conservation movement and a national weather service are rooted at the Smithsonian. Smithson’s Gamble is filled with fascinating characters\, twists and turns\, and moments of triumph and tragedy\, complete with political machinations\, a bit of backstabbing\, accusations of murder\, and the occasional scandal.\n\n\n\nTo sign up for this FREE virtual event\, please click HERE! \nFor other upcoming (and previous) virtual talks\, please click HERE!
