Hope, I would take some hope.

I had always heard of the "Hope Diamond" and never really carried much about seeing it, until I actually saw it. Wow, that thing is damn huge for a diamond. I still don't really care, but thought if you had never seen what it looks like you might be interested, so there it is, plus the crazy setting it's in with like 9,000 smaller diamonds.

If you want to steel this baby, the place to head is The Smithsonian Natural History Museum in DC.

The Preamble

The Preamble of the US Constitution done in all 50 State's Licenses Plates. (Click for bigger picture.) I found this fun and interesting among the many amazing art pieces at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Washington DC. This is only 1 of the probably 100 amazing things I enjoyed at this Museum. This place is not to be missed in DC.
