American History

The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, Behring Center, is responsible for the collection, care and preservation of more than three million objects. The collections reflect the breadth, depth and complexity of the experiences of the American people, from social and cultural history to the history of science, medicine and technology. Our American History Museum shop includes books and gifts for baseball fans, presidential memorabilia, the always-popular Jacqueline Kennedy jewelry and accessories collection, and other products inspired by the Smithsonian’s vast home and community life collections.
