in addition to smithsonian cares, the smithsonian offers a learning lab. that is an online tool created specifically to work with teachers and students and distance learning. no shock that the learning lab had a 500% increase from march 2019 to march 2020, and i suspect that increase has only continued to grow. established in 1846, the smithsonian, now 170 years later, encompasses 19 museums and galleries, numerous research and educational facilities, the national zoo, a growing collection of 155 million objects and specimens of various kinds. we are here today to discuss whether the congress should authorize the addition of two new museums to the smithsonian's vast portfolio, specifically a smithsonian museum of women's history, and a national museum of the american latino. we truly have an expert witness on the whole idea of new museums and expanding museums. secretary bunch was the founder of the african american history and culture museum and led the entire 11 year process of planning and constructing the 400,000 square-foot museum that tells a powerfu
