Smithsonian Affiliations

Through the work of Smithsonian Affiliations and the many Smithsonian Affiliates across the country, people can experience the Smithsonian in their own community. Smithsonian Affiliates are partners in a bold effort to share America’s artistic, scientific, and historic heritage. Experience the landmark moments of space flight, the mystery of gems, the beauty of nature, the passion of art, and the march of history – all at your doorstep. Mystic Seaport is proud to be a Smithsonian Affiliate.
