The real place
The Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History opened in 1910 and is one of the most visited museums in the world. A huge African bush elephant stands in its rotunda, and the Hope Diamond is on show upstairs. Comparisons of the game with the real city list it among the National Mall buildings the game recreates.
Visiting
Entry is free and no pass is needed. Start in the rotunda under the dome, then go up to the Hall of Geology, Gems and Minerals for the Hope Diamond.
