The Smithsonian Collection: 'You're Gonna Love Sitting On Our History!'

There’s that old saying, isn’t there, when you’re saying something negative about something someone owns? You spot a couch at a party that looks like it was found in the alley downstairs and you say, “That looks like it belongs in the Smithsonian” (alternately, you might have also said that about someone who has a weathered look about them, but we’re not the insensitive jerks you people are, so we don’t let it get any further than furniture).
