Het grootste deel van de faciliteiten is gevestigd in <a href="/wnl/Washington_D.C." title="Washington D.C." wx:linktype="known" wx:pagename="Washington_D.C." wx:page_id="27297" id="wx15">Washington D.C.</a>. Gezamenlijk bestaat het uit negentien musea en zeven researchcentra en heeft 142 miljoen voorwerpen in zijn collecties. Het instituut en de musea worden gefinancierd en indirect beheerd door de Amerikaanse overheid.</p>

<p id="wx16">Het Smithsonian is in 1846 opgericht naar aanleiding van een <a href="/wnl/Legaat" title="Legaat" wx:linktype="known" wx:pagename="Legaat" wx:page_id="174125" id="wx17">legaat</a> uit 1829 van de Engelse geleerde <a href="/wnl/James_Smithson" title="James Smithson" wx:linktype="known" wx:pagename="James_Smithson" wx:page_id="1216999" id="wx18">James Smithson</a> inhoudende dat, mocht zijn neef Henry James Hungerford kinderloos komen te overlijden, een som van honderdduizend <i id="wx19">gold sovereigns</i> aan de <a href="/wnl/Verenigde_Staten" title="Verenigde Staten" wx:linktype="known" wx:pagename="Verenigde_Staten" wx:page_id="1838" id="wx20">Verenigde Staten van Amerika</a> vermaakt zou moeten worden ter oprichting van een instituut om het toen erbarmelijk lage peil van het wetenschappelijk onderzoek in dat land wat op te krikken. In 1835 stierf Hungerford inderdaad kinderloos. Er volgde een lange politieke strijd over de vraag óf men de — door velen als zeer krenkend ervaren — making wel moest aanvaarden en zo ja, in welke vorm men aan de voorwaarden moest voldoen. Uiteindelijk richtte men een <i id="wx21"><a href="/wnl/Trust_%28rechtsvorm%29" title="Trust (rechtsvorm)" wx:linktype="known" wx:pagename="Trust_(rechtsvorm)" wx:page_id="11004" id="wx22">trust</a></i> op om het instituut zo onafhankelijk mogelijk te maken.</p>

<p id="wx23">Onder de talloze voorwerpen in de rijke collecties valt bijvoorbeeld een verzameling instrumenten van de Italiaanse vioolbouwer <a href="/wnl/Antonio_Stradivari" title="Antonio Stradivari" wx:linktype="known" wx:pagename="Antonio_Stradivari" wx:page_id="69146" id="wx24">Antonio Stradivari</a> te noemen.</p>
