Overview
The Smithsonian Institution is a surreal narrative of quantum physics, string theory, clones, the sexual habits of Eskimos, and the domestic arrangements of various U.S. presidents. It's Good Friday, 1939, and a teenage math prodigy is mysteriously summoned to the Smithsonian Institution, to aid in the development of the atom bomb. In the subterranean laboratory, he brainstorms, while upstairs the museum displays come to life. An adventurous First Lady from the inaugural-gowns exhibit takes it upon herself to show him the sexual ropes. This is a tour de force of comedy and allusion.
