Museum Provenance

Lions are among some 274 mammals whose diversity is explored by The Kenneth E. Behring Family Hall of Mammals at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History. You will find a lion in the savanna habitat in the Africa Gallery. Though mighty hunters, lions must battle for survival, often missing its prey more than half the time. When lions cooperate, they can bring down large animals.

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.
