CELEBRATING THE FLAG WITH DAVID COPPERFIELD AND NEW CITIZENS
In honor of Flag Day, David Copperfield performed a one-of-a-kind, specially created illusion in which he appeared to reunite the Star-Spangled Banner with its missing 15th star.
“The Star-Spangled Banner is one of our nation’s most treasured objects, a lasting symbol of this country’s promise,” explains the museum’s Elizabeth MacMillan Director, Anthea Hartig. “The Smithsonian and Copperfield partnership allows us to spark the public’s imagination and capture their curiosity to learn more about our flag.”

|
Welcoming new citizens
As a self-described “proud son of immigrants,” Copperfield also participated in our annual Flag Day naturalization ceremony in partnership with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) in which 14 people became American citizens. The cohort of new citizens were from 14 different countries on four continents. |

Preparing for the Oath
Throughout the year, the museum is proud to help candidates prepare for the U.S. Naturalization Test with an online, interactive study guide for the civics portion of the exam.

4 FACTS ABOUT THE REAL STAR-SPANGLED BANNER
|
|
While the true location of the missing 15th star is still a mystery, our staff has a wealth of knowledge about the real Star-Spangled Banner—the flag that inspired the national anthem. |
|
"A flag so large that the British will have no difficulty in seeing it from a distance"
Maj. George Armistead's request for a 30 by 42 foot garrison flag was large, but not unusual for the time.
Experience what it's like to unfold a full-size replica of the original Star-Spangled Banner that inspired the national anthem in our flag folding program at 10 a.m. every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday this summer. See our daily events schedule and plan your visit.
(Note: Last-minute cancellations may occur. Be sure to check our website before your visit.) |

Will the flag travel to a museum near you? Not likely.
The Star-Spangled Banner joined the Smithsonian's collections in the early 1900s. Since then, it has only left the National Mall once, during World War II.
Unlike with other objects and artifacts, that kind of travel will likely never happen. Eben Appleton, who gave the flag to the Smithsonian as a permanent gift, asked Secretary of the Smithsonian Charles Walcott to ensure that any "citizen who visits the museum with the expectation of seeing the flag be sure of finding it in its accustomed place."
Read more about the flag's travels since its creation in 1813.

Preserving and protecting the flag
A custom-designed enclosure protects the fragile wool and cotton flag by providing the ideal environment (maintaining temperature, humidity, light, and security) while offering maximum view for visitors. The display not only has hidden support structures but also dramatic lighting that evokes an atmosphere of the "dawn's early light," similar to what Francis Scott Key experienced Sept. 14, 1814, when he wrote the song that would become the national anthem.

Ted Williams Boston Red Sox jersey and hat
Baseball fans visiting the museum won't want to miss this display of Ted Williams's time playing left field for the Boston Red Sox. At the end of his playing days, Williams managed the Washington Senators/Texas Rangers. See more items from the museum's baseball collections.Ted Williams’s Mexican American heritage is not well known.

¡Pleibol! In the Barrios and the Big Leagues
Baseball is at the heart of many communities in the United States, but for Latino families, it is more than simply a game. Opening on October 9, 2020, the upcoming exhibition ¡Pleibol! In the Barrios and the Big Leagues examines how Latinas/os have celebrated community, made a living, and challenged prejudice through baseball. On our blog, read the stories of pioneering Afro-Latino baseball players Minnie Miñoso, Juan Marichal, and Matty Alou, who overcame language barriers, racial discrimination, and a lack of community support. In spite of these obstacles, Latino ballplayers achieved success and helped change American baseball culture throughout the past century.

Righting a Wrong: Japanese Americans and World War II closing July 31, 2019
The exhibition, in the Albert H. Small Documents Gallery, explores the Japanese American experience during World War II through the Executive Order 9066. This document was the catalyst that led to the forced incarceration of people of Japanese ancestry, whether or not they were U.S. citizens, in prison camps across the country, many being relocated far from home.
The exhibit features original artwork by Roger Shimomura, who spent several years in the Minidoka camp in Idaho. Browse the online exhibit. |
