About The Event

Reserve your spot for a pop-up augmented reality experience, available for a limited time only! Before it was an art museum, the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s historical building showcased ingenuity through the display of thousands of patent models. Known as a “temple of invention,” it was a place for ideas and exploration, creativity and change. In this game, produced by Smartify and supported by AT&T, you will meet some of the fascinating people who walked the halls and experience key moments in the building’s history.

Play the game on your own or with family and friends to collect cogs, restore the heart of the temple, and see how this building is still a place where invention and innovation are celebrated.

Recommended for families and elementary school-age children. Registration encouraged; walk-ins welcome on a limited basis.
