The National Museum of American History is part of the Smithsonian Institution whose main purpose is to collect, preserve, and display the heritage of the United States in the areas of social, political, cultural, scientific, and military history.

The museum houses a number of Disney related items including the original Kermit the Frog puppet, a 1955 Disneyland Dumbo ride vehicle, a screen-used C-3PO, and Captain America’s shield among a variety of other items.

Displays rotate frequently so be sure to check the website’s collection search page or call ahead if you have your heart set on seeing something specific.
