Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service Podcasts
The Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service creates and shares exhibitions about art, science, culture, and history with millions of people beyond the Nation’s Capitol. We are the largest traveling exhibition service in the world. Our exhibitions, sharing the wealth of the Smithsonian's vast collections, are on view in libraries, museums, science centers, university galleries, historical societies, and everywhere people gather. Our latest podcasts are about Puerto Rican baseball legend Roberto Clemente, Muppet creator Jim Henson, Hatch Show Print in Nashville, TN, and the history of sports.
Roberto Clemente became a baseball legend during the 1960s and 70s with his explosive throwing arm, his lightning speed, and his high batting average, but he was much more than an astounding athlete.
For millions of fans across the world, especially in his native Puerto Rico and in Latin America, Clemente was a cultural hero who gave underprivileged people a voice. His story is a study in character, drive, and the ascendancy of man to myth.
