Good Preview and/or Postview

If you are preparing to visit the Smithsonian's Natural History Museum it would be wise to read this book beforehand to get a comprehensive overview of the museum, its history and its collections. With nice photographs and an easy narrative the book does a good job of evenly going through the numerous exhibits within the museum. Or if you visited the museum and want a remembrance this would fill that purpose also. Very good.
