Supersize
Of the millions of artifacts on display and tucked away at the Smithsonian Institutions, some objects are bigger than others and even supersized.

Then follow other visitors go on two off-site adventures as one gets a lesson in 22-foot tall totem-pole carving and the other encounters the fossils of a prehistoric, 500 pound sloth.Ă‚Â
