An Exclusive Look Inside The Vaults Of The Smithsonian Museum

We investigate the hidden archives of the Smithsonian Institution to reveal the archaeological and technological secrets behind America's most iconic artifacts. From the exquisite engineering of a World War II Japanese Zero and the samurai code of its pilots to the 1,000-year-old biological mysteries of homing pigeons used in WW1, we explore how history is preserved.
