"Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian"

The centerpiece of the new film "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian" will be bringing to life the Smithsonian Institution, which houses the world's largest museum complex with more than 136 million items in its collections, ranging from the plane Amelia Earhart flew on her non-stop solo flight across the Atlantic and to Dorothy's ruby slippers.
