query history museum. -- we are history museum. we use native american art to story, the story that spans 16,000 to 18,000 years. we are set up chronologically, we start with the oldest story,t time ,eriod, the paleo time period and then go through different galleries, the archaic time period, the mississippian time period into the historic time period. from presorted because that is first contact with europeans and how the europeans changed native american life. when the word indian is mentioned, we can't help it, we all do it, but we automatically of a guy picture sitting on a spotted pony with a big headdress and his staff on the plains of nebraska and that is what tv and movies have done to us. is we tryt we do here to teach the hundreds of different tribes at about their cultures, and about how they live, what they ate, how they dressed, so that you start seeing the diversification that happens in our country. a lot of changes occurred, and that the difference as go from paleo times, where many groups were hunting the giant be

what i think museums do, especially museums like the smithsonian, our job is to help you remember. to remember the stories, to remember this history. but not out of nostalgia, but to give you a useful history. so that in essence, it is to inspire, to challenge, to remind us of what is possible. for me, an exhibition like this is really a wonderful time to thank those who were involved, but more importantly a stepping stone to say the great strength of america have been the people that have challenged, that have prodded, that have demanded it live up to its state of ideals. we hope exhibitions like this remind us all that we have a responsibility to help america be america. kinshasha: thank you, lonnie. this will be the very last. >> as a gen xer, not to remember but learn and discover. someone who didn't experience that time period in my 20's, i became aware of the poor people's campaign. i question how many people even really know the history of martin luther king and even in a tweet that the king center printed out. we need to get out for martin luther king light. the thing i thi

hayes museum and the shoes are pretty common shoes. most shoes at this time while they are considered to be or were handmade, they are considered to be mass produced. so made in factories. you could still have shoes made for you specifically which would be a more comfortable fit. but this is a very common type of shoe. they don't appear to be left or right footed. though that's becoming less common at this time period, as well. here we are with james garfield, the 20th president of the united states. and the object which we have for him which is on loan to us from the western reserve historical society in cleveland, ohio, is a dressing gown. now, a dressing gown at this time was not a bathrobe. it was a less formal jacket that you would have worn at home or around the house maybe take it off when you take off your formal jacket when you got home from work and put something like this on. one of the things they allowed in some ways a lot of men to have a lot more color in their wardrobes because it was pretty drab most of men's clothing

we are in the museum portion of the building. and this is our temporary exhibit, which is c-span's american presidents life portraits. the idea for this came about from us thinking about bringing in the temporary exhibit from c-span. then adding something personal from each man, at least at this point, each man to show something different about them not -- we think about them that this is about the presidents. we want to show them as human beings as well. some of these guys were very interesting. to borrow the objects, it was an extensive process to try to find sites associated with the different people and getting them to agree to loan us items. among other people, though, we did work with the other presidential libraries and the national archives presidential library system. and then everything from the national park service who worked with to individual historical societies, state historical societies and even a few individuals. one of the things about the temporary exhibits that we do here at the hoover presidential library i

the mission of the museum is to teach history, and that's what we are. we are a history museum. what we use our pieces -- are pieces of native american art to tell our story, to tell the story that spans 16,000 to 18,000 years. we are set up chronologically. we start with the oldest time period, the paleo time period, and then go through different galleries, the archaic time period, the woodland time period, the mississippian time period, into the historic time period. the historic time period is separated from prehistoric because that is first contact with europeans and how the europeans changed native american life. when the word "indian" is mentioned, we can't help it. we all do it, but we automatically think -- have this guy sitting on a spotted pony with a big headdress and a staff on the plains of nebraska, and that's what tv and movies have done to us. and so, what we do here is we the hundreds of different tribes and about their cultures and about how they lived, what they ate, how they dressed, so that you start seeing the diversification that happens in our country. we

we are inside the henry ford museum of american innovation. just outside our driving america exhibit, where we look at the history of the automobile in the united states. we're actually standing in front of a series of presidential limousines, which tell the story of the development of presidential transportation over the last 117 years or so. right behind me is a 1902 carriage used by president theodore roosevelt. it becomes a force of the united states, starting in 91890, but by the time of roosevelt's administration, it's a common occurrence to see cars moving on public streets. roosevelt, interestingly enough, for all the reputation he has as a real forward-looking progressive, never really cared much for automobiles. he wanted to rain in horse-drawn vehicles. partly there was a formality that was appropriate to the dignity of the office, but also i think he had a progressive and man of the people image that he wanted to protect. at that time, automobiles were still very much thought of as play things for the wealthy. so it wouldn't do him

it's a universal museum, it's a museum that takes you through time and through different geographies.nt cultures and different civilisations in contact with one another. in a way, to me, walking to the galleries is walking through time and seeing what is happening in different parts of the world at the same moment. there is a medina, or arabic village feel, to the layout and as for the architecture here, well, it's all about geometry and light. it's a dome symbolising islamic architecture, but as you can see, there is eight layers up there that allows the light to filter through and come down as you can see it, with what the architect calls the rain of light. so, this whole display of the museum is in a way representing who we are as emiratis, because we's always been in the middle of this region. the gulf has always been a connection of trade and different civilisations, so... going through this narrative allows you to capture the essence of who we are, the essence of who the uae is today. and the museum is yet to reveal its most publicised exhibit — a 500—year—old painting of christ

another must see is the heights museum the national museum of the netherlands it was already a traffic friendly building when it opened in eight hundred eighty five and today it could well be the only museum that you can ride a bike through. it holds works by dutch golden age masters like the mia and rembrandt. the rights museum is built around the eighteen hundreds and it's designed by a german by the name of pier calipers and if you arrive in amsterdam by train and you see the central train station it's actually designed by the same architect actually so that's why they look very similar in design. one of amsterdam's top tourist destinations lies on the prince and cost the end frank house every day long lines formed outside the museum in twenty sixteen it attracted almost one point three million visitors this is where the thirteen year old jewish girl and frank went into hiding with their family during world war two to escape the nazis and where she wrote her world famous diary. the tour of the secret annex conveys the claustrophobic conditions of the hiding place the rooms are unfur

so it's rare to see them in museums anymore. and we may not get anymore either. of course we got these vehicles from the lincoln motor company. they were leased to the white house by lincoln and when the lease expired and when the cars became too dated, lincoln then took the cars back and turned around and gave them to us for which we're grateful. now the cars are provided by cadillac and they're purchased out right by the white house. they remain the property of the government do with as they see fit. visitors always have questions. the question they ask all the time is this the car that he was really assassinated? because it's hard to believe that it would have been put back into service and used for several more years. it is, it was simply a matter of time, they needed a car for the president so it was faster to rebuild that one than start from scratch. they ask about the reagan car are you see what looks like a spoiler on the back. does this car have a spoiler like a sports car or something? that's actually a happened rail for secret service agents. the bump

standpoint of the museum, what is interesting to me is it captures what we do as a museum. we collect, we preserve, and we provide access to the public. many of you are familiar with the bay conservation project the lastrred over decade, the preservation of the star-spangled banner. this is a smaller object but of in terms ofance revealing to us something about the early history of our country. i'm delighted with the support of private and public funding we were able to carry out this project. opportunity to look at the thoughts and ideas that were important to one of the founders of our country, thomas jefferson. writing table in the museum that reflects and symbolizes his role in creating the declaration of independence. there are three things that jefferson wanted to be remembered for. second was to be an author of the declaration of independence. third was to be an author of the freedom of religion clause in the virginia state constitution. to be remembered as the third president of the united states, which i think was significant. it's those acts he wanted to have insc

let me give you the commercial for museums. museums are one of the few places where people, especially americans, trust. it is one of the few places that will give you relatively unvarnished truth. that, to me, is such a gift. you can take that unvarnished truth and you can interpret it in ways you want. you can take it anywhere you want to go. but it is there for you or that is why places like the smithsonian is so important. kinshasha: right on. you will remember that expression. i want you to join me in thanking peter edelman, aaron bryant, marc steiner, and lonnie bunch.
