Washington DC - National Museum of American History: White House Coffee Cup
Image by wallyg
Captain D.W. Taylor presented this cup to Robert Todd Lincoln in 1887. He explained that a White House servant had seen the president leave the cup behind on a windowsill just before departing for the theater, and had preserved it as a relic of that tragic night. The cup is a gift of Lincoln Isham, the great-grandson of Abraham Lincoln in 1958.
Abraham Lincoln: An Extraordinary Life, was on exhibit in 2009 as part of the Smithsonian-wide celebration of the 200th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln̢۪s birth. The exhibition showcased more than 60 historical treasures associated with Lincoln's life.
The National Museum of American History (NMAH), administered by the Smithsonian Institute, collects, preserves and displays American heritage in the areas of social, political, cultural, scientific and military history. The museum, which first opened in 1964 as the Museum of History and Technology, is located on the National Mall in one of the last structures designed by McKim, Mead & White. It was renamed in 1980, and closed for a 2-year, milliomn renovation by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP from 2006 to 2008.
The Smithsonian Institution, an educational and research institute and associated museum complex, administered and funded by the government of the United States and by funds from its endowment, contributions, and profits from its shops and its magazines, was established in 1846. Although concentrated in Washington DC, its collection of over 136 million items is spread through 19 museums, a zoo, and nine research centers from New York to Panama.
