- C-3P0, R2-D2, Michael Jordan's jersey, Archie Bunker's chair, Dorothy's ruby Slippers. They are all in a new exhibit on American Culture in the American History Museum. Plus I walk through a bit of the President's collection to see the Wall of Presidents in the Smithsonian, which is a bit different than the one in the White House Visitor's Center.
Show not Tell.

The American History Museum is truly "America's Attic". Thanks for the tour.
I'm sorry but the Smithsonian doesn't hold much water with me. History as we are all finding out, has been altered. It's sad but true.
History has ALWAYS been altered ...the winners of the wars are the ones who write the History.....
And today's WOKE actors are using Nuclear Powered Bulldozers to alter almost ALL...
New discoveries have been found rewriting history but I doubt we will see it in history books in our lifetime, unfortunately
@@com2375 I agree 👍
But we will be close to being at the beginning of our new History .. it's starting with Truth...
@@Saritaseekingtruth Sounds like something the Greeks Wrote ✍️ ...
Or could have been a Sumerian phrase...but not enough written works gave survived the Ages of Time to Prove ......
Thank you for the good tour and narration. 👍
Thanks p6 showed us the cool things in DC I love getting in to see these and thank you for paying the for me!! Great job!👍😁
I love when you take us through the museums. Very interesting video today. Thank you P6.
Interesting kind of mix sowing both up-close and enclosed views of yesteryear's memories in a huge social environment that visitors can move at their own personal pace. Seeing Archie and Edith's chairs was heartwarming. I was hoping to see a Nomad station wagon. I enjoyed the tour, P6. Thanks!!!
Thank you for this nice tour of goodies from America's attic.

God bless...Andrew!
Thank you for the afternoon tour of the Smithsonian Museum.
Always enjoy the tours and history, well done Sir!
Thanks for the tour? So many of your viewers live too far away to see this! Thanks again!
The American History is my favorite in Washington DC! Thanks for the tour.
Thanks for the Smithsonian tour. I was there in the 70's. So many things to look at.
Thanks, P6. You're a great tour guide.
Pretty darn interesting. I could spend hours in there. Good to see the variety. Thank you
Great video so much info.
Interesting video... 🙋 Thanks!
Thanks Penguin 🙂
I went to Washington DC in 2006 but had no idea how corrupt and deep the swamp was.
The new exhibit is interesting. A lot of comms. Thanks for the tour!
Thanks for the tours….I miss being in VA
How did I miss this neat museum when I visited DC last year? This was really interesting.
It just opened in Dec. 2022
Oh the corruption of the Smithsonian……
🤦♂️
Exactly!!!
Meaning that Joe Biden is actually the 46th President of our United States of America? Is that what you mean by “corruption”?
🎯
I love the things you show otherwise we might never have an opportunity to see. Thank you.
My dad's first car was a '32 Roadster.
Where's all the giant skelletons they confiscated and hid from the world?
🤦♂️
In the ocean. Scumbags!
They only exist in the mind of the people who made up these silly stories and those that made silly photoshop pics on the internet. Stop falling for silly made up fantasy!
That was fun, thanks.
A tucker car cool. My husband and I watched that movie a few times. It was pretty good. That was a pretty good idea he had.
Thanks for the tour, and for the memories! I kept thinking, how often and egads as to dusting each item on display!
Thank you penguinsix .. I've always wanted to visit DC just to see The Smithsonian Museum . you have saved me a bundle of money!! I love that!!
Very interesting. Thank you for the guided tour P6!
Thank you, P6! Have a great lunch!
That was awesome 👌 Thank you 😊
Locomotive wheels are huge. The pistons are huge. Love trains
Love the tour. We need to preserve our history. When we don't learn from our history, we are doomed to make the same mistakes. Yes, as technology advances we learn and are educate more about our history. Sometimes we find out the early historians didn't get it all right, that is why we have to keep digging.
Thanks P6 🐧🥂🥂🥂
I went there. I saw the First Lady collection
I like this thank you p6
Hey 👋 P6! The BEST tour guide EVAaaaaa😂Always a joy. Thanks 👍🏻
AWESOME !!!!! LOVED THE VACATION..
My husband was gifted the front and back license plates from a famous mob boss from NY. I don’t remember the name. I would have to take the plate off the wall to find the name. The story is wrote on the back of one of them. Kinda cool. I don’t go in his garage much so he would know if I took it off the wall and I don’t do that. Lol
Thank you for the tours you always give
Thank you P6! This was great!
There was a movie about the 1st car. He got a flat.
Graçias por el maravilloso video, es bueno recordar la historia a través de los museos
In the Smithsonian's 1.5 million square feet, more than 125 million pieces are on display.
How to get out ??? That's quite the place... fun...
Right. The Smithsonian is a days worth.
I want to see the stuff in the basements of these museums.....lol
Love these tours
Took the old steam engine in Colorado from Durango to Silverton. 1800 box cars. Pretty cool. Took in June and Silverston was 30°. Take a jacket. 😊 1938 Rolls Royce ❤️ Ahh yes, Route 66. Famous route. That station wagon looking familiar. Lol Funeral section, surprised you don't walk through in silence. Jackie O in Tiffany Blue. Gotta love the Top Hats. Mae West was naughty. Staubach and Too Tall! ❤️ Ruby Slippers, 3 pairs. Debbie Reynolds holds one pair. Enjoyable walk through!
Lots of AWESOME stuff at this museum. I especially love the part of muesumn showing the nastalgic stuff of the past celebrities, musicians, movie stars, and all their AWESOME things and costumes.
So, you're into manipulative, deceiving, trans demons! Wake up!!!! Stop admiring evil.
@@lorilynn6563 everything there is not evil and there are things there that bring back awesome childhood memories. I feel bad for you that you feel everything there is evil.
@@andrewwilks5155 You're right, not everything is evil in there. Some good people walk through there each day. BUT yes, our entire childhood was stolen from us by the evil that walk amongst us. If you don't see the evil & choose to admire or reminisce about your tainted childhood, that's your prerogative, just like it's my prerogative to call out the evil. You obviously have much to learn. Buckle up buttercup!!
neat museum
Where are the giants skeletons hidden ??? 🤔
I always wanted to see the Smithsonian.. TY GB..
There are no giants skeletons. Stop falling for silly photoshop picutes on the internet.
21:55 Max Schmeling was *not* a Nazi.
Exactly. He also helped to rescue Jews during the Holocaust, and paid part of the funeral of Joe Louis and served as a pallbearer at it.
Thank you.
❤❤❤❤again……I would never get to see thiis……thanks
Cool exhibition
When we were there last fall we were disappointed that this wasn’t open yet. 😢
Quite enjoyed seeing the forms of transportation that built North America. Sharp contrast to the direction we’re heading in with the focus on their “green new deal” and electric cars, that is dividing us. 🙄
And yet you somehow missed that all these "forms of transportation that built North America" all involved advances in technology, and divided people as well. The earliest forms involved canals and rivers to mass transport goods and people, and animals for overland transport. Then railroads came along and people fought those thinking they wouldn't work. They did and over time they replaced animals for overland transport of good and people, and canals such as the Erie Canal declined. Then this held until around 1900 give or take a few years. The airplane made its debut in 1903, and cars were being developed. The railroads fought the airplane and livery stables and horse farms fought the development of the car, and they both lost. By the 1950's the railroads moved off of steam engines to diesel-electric and that change was opposed to by the firemen. They lost and the vast majority of them were laid off because they were no longer needed. Now the electric car is coming for the gasoline engine.
So the story of American transportation is one that embraces new technology, and one of people who oppose such advancements. You are clearly in the latter camp, and I am in the former.
Sure 🙄
@@dustinrupert3679 Then why don't you share what I got wrong about the advancement of transportation technology that built North America as we know it.
Don’t believe I asked for a short story on what your beliefs are. Accurate as to how we got where we are at but we clearly have different opinions on path to “net zero”. Biden and Trudeau are so far up the UN’s ass that they are neglecting the oil and gas industry and their clean energy options, in favour of wind, solar and battery power. It’s kicking the hell out of the economy and real lives are being affected daily.
@@dustinrupert3679 It isn't about "beliefs," but about how transportation technology advances despite opposition.
The oil and gas industry have been given billions and billions in subsides over the decades, and so I don't think they have experienced neglect. If they weren't wise in investing those subsidies into cleaner and better energy sources that is their fault, and it wasn't as if they didn't have any warning. Their own scientists and research showed decades ago that climate change was happening, and so they had decades to prepare and didn't.
Wind and solar are things that can be produced here, and battery technology continues to improve drastically thanks to significant economic incentive. The advantage of both the sun and wind is that they aren't influenced by whims of idiots. For example, Russia's invasion of Ukraine continues to impact the oil and gas market, and all it takes is Iran to shut down the Straits of Hormuz to hurt the global oil and gas economy. As China's energy consumption grows the price of oil and gas only goes up. Those are factors that really kick "the hell out of the economy," and the sooner this nation weans itself off of oil the stronger it becomes and the less real lives will be negatively affected by the oil and gas markets.
P6 Penguinsix in DC yesterday
The First flying Merkel was the first American company in Milwaukee in 1902 witch relocated to Ohio then the Davidson's brother ???? Made the so called 1st. Harley Davidson in 1903 ???? In 2003 Harley sold an 100 anniversary sportster with a customized flying Merkel kit??????
I made a video of the new entertainment exhibit last month-- ua-cam.com/video/NoCkmwMz9Ys/v-deo.html -- and amazed how many more things you recognized by site without reading the little signs. Also, as you said about Captain America for your sons, there were some children at the exhibit when I was there, and the ONLY thing any of them cared about was Captain America's shield. They may want to consider putting more kid friendly things in the exhibit... I was most excited about the ruby slippers and R2D2.
I wonder if they will have a covid exhibit. That would be very interesting.
Are you still feeling the affects of getting ill a few weeks back? I'm almost 100% after 6 months.
The Energy in this tour is dark! 😢
🙏✌️🥰🌎✨
One of the first Electric cars goes Way back in the 20s or 30s I think that was when it was built
I love your work and channel. This particular post gave me a sense that many in the US are into idols more than God. Shalom 2023, God have mercy on us.
HisStory.
That's my favorite Smithsonian
I seem to have missed the presidents wall.
@13:29
You can't miss JB's picture! It's not on the big bright wall in the Visitor's Center. It's way back there in a corner at the Smithsonian, on a dark wall, one exhibit over from President Teddy Rooselvelt's old pants.
Can/did you add a link to the First Ladies Dresses??
It should have popped up but here is one. ua-cam.com/video/1HQ8RX3BheE/v-deo.html. I now have to redo it through as Jill Biden's dress arrived yesterday.
That was a great video!
Go to the President’s wall please.
13:23 No doubt the die-hard conspiracy types will be going into meltdown? lol
For those that see he is really trying to sell it
What is it you’re trying to sell?
Yes what do you think @penguinsix is trying to sell?
The Smithsonian isn't for sale.
Biden isnt on the President's Wall at the Visitors center after 2 years...BIDEN IS A BS
" Wag the Dog" pRESIDENT!!
@@RisingPatriot-mi1cl Wasn't it lovely to see the end date on Trump's presidency in the Smithsonian Museum?
That "museum" is more an ode to marketing as most of that stuff isn't real. I wouldn't call it American history. Just American marketing.
Smithsonian lol what a joke. The visitors centers tells the truth.
Absolutely! ❤️🤍💙🇺🇲
And what are you going to say when they finally update that display to include Biden?
About what?
They are never going to update the big bright wall in the Visitor's Center. They are going to leave JB's picture way back there in a corner at the Smithsonian, on a dark wall, one exhibit over from President Teddy Rooselvelt's old pants. Lol. 😀🤠😺🐵🎃🌞
@@jennyanne Again, when it's updated - and it will be - what will be your reaction? You better start planning or making up a new conspiracy now.
Anyone with a NASA hat on their head doesn't hold much water with me.
You'll be telling us next that the earth is flat or that humans haven't been to the Moon or even outside the Earth's atmosphere lol
Should do a tour of the holocaust museum
I go there about every six months. This was the last video from there. New one due soon. ua-cam.com/video/sonG4lijM5Y/v-deo.html
Where was the Presidents Wall?
@13:29
Are you looking for JB's portrait? It's NOT on the big bright wall in the Visitor's Center. It's way back there in a corner at the Smithsonian, on a dark wall, one exhibit over from President Teddy Rooselvelt's old pants. Lol. 😀🤠😺🐵🎃🌞
@@jennyanne And yet you somehow delete the fact that they do have a display for him right next to the "big bright wall" at the Visitor's Center. But don't worry one day his portrait will be right there on that wall, and then you will make more rationalizations about how he really isn't President and that Trump somehow still is.
@@jennyanne lol So what happens when the WH Visitors Center Presiden't wall board is updated? What excuses will you come up with. Will it be tantrums and tears? So explain why Melania's Inauguration dress in the other museum has the end date of 2017-2021? Surely with your crazy conspiracy theory Melania should still be First Lady and there should be no end date? Can you see how silly your claims are? Yes, the wall will be updated. No there won't be any big reveal from Trump and he won't be making the big reveal on the Emergency Alert System. This time next year still nothing and the same with the following year. When will reality kick-in for you that you have fallen for a hoax?
@@trapdoorspringfieldmodel1888 It is a mindset. They will just come up with silly excuses when the WH Visitors Center board/wall is updated with Trump's end date and Biden's start date. They will be going into meltdown and rushing to the internet to see what the prominent scammers and grifters are making up to explain it. It will be complete meltdown lol. Nancy Drew will be screaming and wailing at the wall lol
Lol....too funny
Giant brain wa$$hing exhibit
Yet you watched and decided to comment. 🤦♂️
@@robwahl6288 ❓️libtard
@@jennyanne Q-yard? 🤣🤣
@@robwahl6288 😀🤠😺🐵🎃🌞
@@robwahl6288 Yup! just to see all the brainwashed people make their comments and say see! Biden Resident is on the fake wall! Wake up, sleepy people!
13:51 lol Die-hard conspiracy theorists going into meltdown!
Woke museum for sure!
