Museum Provenance

Smithsonian researchers study chimpanzees in Gabon’s Gamba Complex of Protected Areas, whose forests have an incredible diversity of plant and animal species. Chimpanzees are mammals that share 99% of human DNA. Mammals, which include human beings, are one class of warm-blooded vertebrate animals that have evolved and adapted to our planet. The Kenneth E. Behring Family Hall of Mammals at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History explores the diversity of some 274 mammals and how they originated and adapted to changing landscapes and environments over the last 225 million years.

Every Smithsonian purchase will arrive with a museum provenance card explaining how it is adapted from or inspired by an object or objects in our collection.
