This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Maryland chapter.

Washington, D.C. is full of areas to explore, but the Smithsonian Museums are a definite staple to the entertainment offered by the nation’s capital. Free for the public, the museums range in subject from Asian art to American history. Permanent exhibits combine with featured exhibits to create an educational as well as entertaining option for a free afternoon in the city. Check out the Natural History Museum, a cherished favorite, with its “Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef” exhibit that features coral reef crochet structures. The exhibit runs until April 24.

Molly is a senior Journalism major at the University of Maryland College Park with a focus in Magazine Journalism and a concentration in English. Originally from Columbia, Maryland, Molly has never lived outside the state - but has full intentions to move to a big city after graduation! She has interned at McClatchy-Tribune, Home and Design magazine and will be interning at American Journalism Review in the fall. On campus, she serves as a copy editor for the Diamondback, Maryland's independent student newspaper, and Unwind, Maryland's Honors-sponsored magazine, and is a member of Kappa Alpha Theta. When she's not involved with school, her internships or Her Campus, Molly enjoys hanging out with friends, working out, shopping and watching Entourage and The Real Housewives. Molly hopes to score a journalism job in the big city next year, but for now, she's enjoying the rest of her time in college!
