Summer Staycation

No matter where you live, summer days and nights take on a different pace. Objects and artwork from across Smithsonian collections reflect the season's possibilities. Warm nights, music festivals, children without homework, summer clothes, and the garden's bounty illustrate the simple pleasures of summer.
