Dear Friend,

Waiting to be filled with adventures, discoveries, and unforgettable moments, a new calendar holds so many possibilities. And the calendar’s design can fuel our inspiration for the year ahead.

Next year, the Smithsonian’s annual calendar will showcase a variety of treasures from across the institution to highlight the natural wonders we work to protect and preserve every day. But with so many options to choose from, we need your input! Help us pick the cover image for the 2027 Smithsonian calendar.

Option 1: Nature and color collide in Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum's collections with this butterfly themed textile design

Option 2: A ring of purple and white flowers encircles a sprinkling of tulips just about to bloom in the Enid A. Haupt Garden outside the Smithsonian Castle.

Option 3: The steady fall of water creates an atmosphere of calm in the Contemplative Court at the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture

Option 4: A flamboyance of flamingos at the Smithsonian's National Zoo preen their vibrant feathers as a flurry of snow falls around them.

This calendar is a benefit for Friends of the Smithsonian at the levels of Archivist and above! After you vote, take advantage of our special discounted rates and unlock your membership to enjoy this and even more exciting benefits.
