The Smithsonian Natural History Museum houses 147 million specimens — everything from pickled animals to priceless gems to dinosaur bones. But less than 1% of it's on display. The rest is hidden behind the scenes in what's called collections. But they're not just sitting in storage rooms collecting dust. The specimens are actively used for scientific research with real-world benefits, from preventing bird strikes to documenting invasive species. We went inside the collections to see how they acquire, maintain, and protect our Earth's treasures.

Smithsonian is owned & controlled by the Gov. Funded by tax payers to hide things from the people who fund it. They have been known to “disappear” or “lose” important artifacts that would help us honestly understand our own history.

If I'm correct they very rarely pay for anything in their collection. So don't think you can sell them an item you may have. If it's important enough they'll just take it from you using laws.

99% of specimens will never be seen by the public and the academic professional class want to make it illegal for anyone to own a fossil. Only they the anointed ones get to see, handle and enjoy fossils! F*ck them!

It has always wanted to work in a museum with a large paleo biology collection! I've always had a fascination with those who came before us, and a large natural history collection is something straight out of a dream to me!
