Smithsonian Institution Exclusive
Description
A charming scene pieces together in this Smithsonian Vintage Wooden Puzzle. The beautifully crafted 100-piece wooden puzzle features a vintage postcard of the Smithsonian Institution Building, or Castle, and statue of Joseph Henry. The original postcard was mailed to Miss Mabel Roper on October 27, 1904. It's an engaging and interesting way to celebrate the 175th anniversary of the Smithsonian Institution.
The Smithsonian Institution Building, more commonly known as the Castle, is the Smithsonian’s first and oldest building. It opened its doors in 1855 and serves not only as a historic architectural and cultural icon, but also as the public doorway to the Smithsonian.
