Washington, D.C., commonly referred to as D.C., is
the Federal Capital of the United States of America.
As such, this city contains an incredible array of
attractions that aren't found elsewhere in the
country. Among the attractions are a series of
memorials and monuments, such as the Vietnam
Veterans Memorial, the Lincoln Memorial and the
Washington Monument. While the Smithsonian
Institution has programs and facilities throughout
the nation, Washington is where 16 of its museums
and the National Zoo are located, displaying less
than two percent of the 142 million artifacts the
institute owns. National museums in D.C. include the
National Air and Space Museum, the National Building
Museum, the National Gallery of Art and the National
Postal Museum, to name but a few. Other prominent
sights while in the Capital are the cornerstones of
the U.S. Government: the United States Capitol, the
United States Supreme Court and the White House,
home of the President of the United States.
