The Smithsonian Institution is an alternate history novel by Gore Vidal, first published in 1998.

The novel is a fictional account of the adventures of "T." as he helps a group of scientists in the basement of the Smithsonian create the neutron bomb, and encounters historical figures such as President Abraham Lincoln, Charles Lindbergh, Eleanor Roosevelt and Mrs. Grover Cleveland.[1][2][3]

Reviewer Merle Rubin advises readers to "skip this" Vidal novel and "spend more profitable time rediscovering the many and varied pleasures of his earlier novels".[1]
