Note: The Arts & Industries Building is currently closed to the public for renovation. The Arts and Industries Building has a special role among Smithsonian buildings—as the original home of the National Museum. It opened in 1881 in time for the inaugural ball of President James A. Garfield. A working carousel is located on the Mall outside of the building.
