The Natural History Museum
Can you imagine this running around during the Night at the Museum movie?
(Then again, they did fly a plane around the Air and Space Museum...)
Don't see many museums with signs like this
Nevertheless, the Hope Diamond is still enclosed in a glass case.
"1958
Winston presented the Hope Diamond to the Smithsonian Institution. As part of the Smithsonian's collection, it now belongs to the people of the United States of America.
"Cursed?
Around the time Mrs. McLean acquired the Hope Diamond, tales of a curse arose. The diamond was rumored to bring its owners ill luck - even death."
Damn, we're all screwed.
