From Smithsonian:
“Due to the government shutdown, Smithsonian museums are temporarily closed beginning on Sunday, Oct. 12, along with our research centers and the National Zoo.
We will update our operating status as soon as the situation is resolved. We do not plan to update social media other than to inform you of changes to our operating status.
While our doors are closed, Smithsonian digital resources continue to be available at si.edu”
