Women’s leadership in music and social change is central to the American story. From our earliest musical encounters to the formation of complex social identities, the American musical landscape would not be what it is today without the countless contributions of women changemakers, groundbreakers, and tradition-bearers. Music HerStory explores these contributions through unique media collections from the Smithsonian Libraries and Archives, the Center for Folklife and Culture Heritage, and around the Smithsonian. Notable women featured include Ella Jenkins, Sister Rosetta Thorpe, Lucy McKim Garrison, Queen Liliʻuokalani, and Dolly Parton.

The National Museum of History, located on the National Mall in Washington, was built and opened in 1964, and the museum shuttles visitors through a variety of scientific, cultural, social and military exhibits throughout the history of the United States for more than 200 years. Compared with the surrounding museum buildings, the historical museum of pure white marble architecture is quite low-key. It is highly recommended to use this as the first stop of the DC Museum tour, learn about history, and then visit the Lincoln Memorial and Capitol in Washington Square. The experience will be better.

泰迪小熊

Came on September 22, 2017. I heard that the White House has not been open to the public since 911, and we can only look far outside the fence when we go, so the White House has become a boring landmark, taking a photo of the tourists who &ldquo;come here&rdquo; to check in. There is a big pine tree on the south side of the White House, and I didn&rsquo;t expect it to be a &ldquo;landmark&rdquo; and a &ldquo;national Christmas tree&rdquo;... Well, it seems that you should pick Christmas to visit.

United States Capitol

_We***42

⌚️ Time: 8:30-16:30, Monday-Saturday Capitol Hall appointment visit is free, but the number of daily visits is limited, it is best to make an appointment in advance, we are 9:30 in the morning, they will give you a white stick on the clothes (see picture 1, the mother&#39;s chest is white, Green is the Library of Congress). There is only one time period that is Mandarin interpretation. I thought it was Chinese. The result was a foreign sister. I was quite surprised. I thought she could speak Chinese. The result was that she said English to us and translated it into Mandarin with translation software! Can&#39;t they find an American Chinese to serve? But what should be the matter, the young lady has a very good attitude, and she took the initiative to take a photo with us! The Capitol is a must-check stop for Washington. The whole building is also very magnificent and distinctive. The pearl-white marble building is a three-story dome towering in the center of the three-story flat-top building. The sculpture at the top of the Capitol is the free woman sleeve god, the Capitol Library. It is also suitable for punching in together, and most museums in Washington are free to the public.

Lincoln Memorial

[Cost-effective] 24 hours free opening, although we went to 6 o&#39;clock, but winter ❄️ dark early. But the momentum is still the same. But how do you feel that Taipei&#39;s Zhongzheng Memorial Hall and Lincoln Memorial Hall are so similar! [View] Needless to say, the atmosphere is magnificent! Facing the Washington Monument! At this time, I suddenly remembered that Chairman Mao&#39;s poem &quot;Jiangshan so many beautiful, attracted countless heroes to fold!

National Mall

Came on September 21, 2017. Between Capitol Hill and the Washington Monument, there is a large long green space, the National Mall of the United States, surrounded by many national museums and memorials, each venue is very interesting, a single place can be visited for half a day. If there is not enough time, it is not bad to take pictures. These buildings have different shapes, and the photos and punch cards are very popular.

Washington Monument

Came on September 21, 2017. The Washington Monument is located in the center of the American capital, about 169 meters high, using the shape of ancient Egyptian obelisk, tall and eye-catching, beautiful and generous, is a very outstanding landmark. The monument is surrounded by a large lawn, which can usually sit casually. During the epidemic, tens of thousands of Americans died of illness, and everyone inserted a small white flag for each of the past to show mourning, that is, in this lawn. It can be seen how big this lawn is. Because the monument is very tall, you need to go to a place far away from the monument to take a photo. On the edge of the high platform where the monument is located, you can sit and shoot. It will be better to take a photo at dusk. Sitting on the west side of the monument, facing the sunset, the sun is softer and the color will be better.
