The Smithsonian Institution recently opened the Sikh Heritage Gallery in Washington D.C. at the National Museum of Natural History. This permanent exhibit entitled Sikhs: Legacy of the Punjab features over 100 items of Sikh heritage and culture combined with information introducing the Sikh religion and history of the Sikh people.

With over 24 million visitors a year, the Smithsonian is the most visited museum complex in the world. This kind of potential exposure will allow fellow Americans and visitors from around the world to learn more about Sikhs and Sikhism.

The following web pages presents a virtual tour of the exhibit which I photographed following its opening on July 24th, 2004. It is hoped that everyone will take an opportunity to visit and promote the exhibit as well as support the efforts of the Smithsonian Institution.
