Smithsonian Dinosaur Exhibit Reopens
It is a busy weekend in the DMV. The Smithsonian Natural History Museum’s Hall of Fossils with the dinosaur skeletons reopen after being closed for five years during a complete renovation. The 10-day D.C. Jazzfest also kicks off this weekend, and Capital Pride wraps up with its annual parade on Saturday and festival on Sunday. And Saturday looks like a great day to get out with no rain in the forecast and temperatures in the low-80s. Sunday, on the other hand, has a 70 percent chance of rain with temperatures about 75.
Major Metro disruptions continue this weekend with all six Blue and Yellow Line stations south of Reagan National Airport including Braddock Road, King Street, Van Dorn Street, Franconia-Springfield, Eisenhower Avenue and Huntington closed through Sept. 8. The Wiehle-Reston East station will also be closed. On the Blue Line, shuttle buses will operate between Franconia-Springfield, Van Dorn Street, King Street and National Airport, but not Braddock Road. There will be also be an express shuttle between Franconia-Springfield and the Pentagon Station. On the Yellow Line, buses will operate between Huntington, Eisenhower Avenue, King Street, Braddock Road and Crystal City, but not National Airport. There will also be an express bus between Huntington and Pentagon. Blue and Yellow Line trains on the remainder of the route will run on regular weekend schedules, with Yellow Line trains now running to and from Greenbelt. On the Silver Line, buses replace trains between Spring Hill and Wiehle-Reston East. Red, Orange, Silver and Green Line trains operate on a regular weekend schedule.

Deep Time
After a five-year renovation, the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History will reopen its David H. Koch Hall of Fossils on Saturday with some 700 fossil specimens, including the dinosaurs such as Tyrannosaurus rex, Diplodocus and the wooly mammoth. The $110 million, 31,000-square-foot exhibit’s theme is Deep Time, borrowed from a scientific phrase that illustrates how Earth’s history has played out over billions of years – what we think of as history is just a small fraction of our planet’s past. Prepare to be amazed, overwhelmed, engaged, dazzled and more. Deep Time is one of the biggest exhibitions to come to D.C. in years and should be at the top of your summer to-do list.
Reopening June 8 from 10 a.m.-5:30 p.m. daily at the Smithsonian Natural History Museum, 10th Street and Constitution Avenue NW. Admission is FREE!

Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucy Stone, Mary Church Terrell and other suffragists – in their own words. Photographs, film footage and rare manuscripts transport visitors back in time as women took their place in the public square.
