Smithsonian Open Access
Provides access to the Smithsonian Institution's Open Access collections through their API, enabling search across 3+ million cultural objects from museums like NMNH, NPG, and SAAM. Built by Justin Molano using FastMCP and the Smithsonian's api.data.gov endpoint, it offers search tools with filters for object type, creator, materials, and licensing status, plus detailed object retrieval with metadata, images, and 3D models. The implementation includes educational prompt templates for research, exhibition planning, and lesson development, making it valuable for educators, researchers, curators, and anyone exploring American cultural heritage through museum collections.
