The Smithsonian

The Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC is the world’s largest museum, and celebrates the history and culture of the entire world. Did you know that it is also partnered with the University of Glasgow in an agreement to share research and certain collections? The Smithsonian includes many Scottish artefacts and curiosities, from 14th century coins to portraits of Scottish nobility. Smithosonianx is an online series of courses taught by leading academics. The courses are free and cover a wide range of topics, from Star Trek’s impact upon the world of technology, to critical thinking and art history. Whether you’re in Washington or Glasgow, there is something for anyone who wants to master a new subject. www.edx.org/school/smithsonianx
