I find a large fraction of the articles to be well-written and of significant interest to me. The last one I read was about Lincoln's activity on the day he was elected--it fit right in with the Obama election, and gave an excellent historical perspective.

the best facts magazine around..

I like the smithsonian magazine because  you feel like you are right there at the scene when reading about the different places . I also like the scientific approach on the many subjects..Some one gave me an old copy of the magazine and I fell in love with it...

This magazine is exquisitly put together with articles and pictures that capture nature and the world.  It gives the reader a chance to learn things that may not have been available through any other source.  I use this magazine as inspiration for my art as well as sharing with children in my school.  Thank you Smithsonian, you never dissapoint me.

A little disappointed

  The first two issues arent anything to write home about. Hope the remaining issues are better.

  Kinda hit or miss with this type magazine.  Sometimes its really worth reading, other times........  I'll probably renew for the right price..
