See the above Associated Press article.  Part of it (above the Smithsonian)
says:
 
"Biologists, anthropologists and zoologists regularly visit the
 museum's storage center in Suitland, Md., a series of
 state-of-the-art warehouses whose alcoves, cabinets and open
 shelves cover the equivalent of 6{ football fields.
     The rare outsider can wander past crates of giant squid, long
 rows of elephant skulls, stuffed alligators and enough elk and
 moose antlers to fill a score of trophy rooms. Next to a tank once
 used to melt whale flesh from bones is a freezer of frozen dolphins
 stacked like firewood."
 
Which lucky members of our group have toured there?
