18:13 The reason Fozzie is there in the car section is he's hoping to see his Studebaker from the Muppet Movie! "A bear in his natural habitat, a Studebaker!"

I have never been to the Smithsonian so I can't judge what You missed or left out but I think You did a great job of presenting this section and I really liked how You gave details on each part of the video. I am handicapped and not able to go to places like this and rarely get a chance to even go to the store. When I was younger I lived in Hawaii and went some cool places, now I depend on people like you to help me escape the everyday boredom. I will be following your channel.

I just saw on the Smithsonian website, that they’re coming out with a new exhibition in December of this year, called “Entertainment Nation” where the muppets, the Bunker’s chairs, and many more pop culture things will come out of storage to be in this new exhibition. It’ll be all about TV, movies, music, etc. I’m sad because I’m going to DC in October with my school and this is opening in December and I would’ve really loved this. Jacob, please go back to DC and go through that exhibition!!

For the pop culture exihbit, I believe most of the artifact are being in storage for the time being whether it's for preservation or new artifact/exhibit are coming it's way. Not sure if they will have a comeback, but keep in mind that all Smithsonian museum do get new artifact and sometimes things will changes to educate the public with new things.

I've been to The American history Smithsonian twice and have always wanted to see General Dan Sickles leg and whiskey barrel he sent it to Abraham Lincoln after it was amputated during the battle of Gettysburg and he was kicked out of the army for disobeying orders and abandoned little round top and took up position in the peach orchard and wheat field causing a huge gap in the union line. Sickles was also the first person to pleade temporary insanity for shooting Frances Barlow Keyes for having an affair with his wife all while being a senator from New York. But his leg has never been on display either time I was there quite disappointing.
