Museum Provenance

Tucked along the east side of our National Museum of Natural History is an urban oasis. Plants native to wetlands, meadows, and woodland edges, and flowers easily found in backyard gardens make a botanical offer many butterflies find hard to refuse. We hope these gifts (inspired by both our urban butterfly habitat and the exclusive collections of glass, clothing, cloisonné and jewelry in our National Museum of American History) are equally enticing to you.

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.
