The National Museum of Natural History
In Washington, D.C., the Smithsonian Institution is home to over 126 million specimens of plants, animals, fossils, minerals, rocks, and other artifacts, that represents over 90% of the Institution’s collections. A very small percentage is on public display with the vast majority of the collection stored behind doors. Photographer Chip Clark has given us a glimpse of all the meticulously organized, labeled, catalogued, and preserved items behind closed doors.
