Enter the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C., later this week, and you'll be greeted by two friends: C-3PO and R2-D2, as they appeared in"Return of the Jedi." When asked how visitors react to the"Star Wars" pair, Smithsonian curator John Troutman replied,"Well, I can describe my reaction: Stunned! These are essential characters in my life. They have deeply impacted my soul.

Even our escapes from history are a part of our history, said museum director and historian Anthea Hartig:"Popular culture tells us many things about ourselves – who we want to be, how we treat our children, and how we treat our elders." Not all of the objects at the Smithsonian are challenging; many are just a delight. There's Mr. Rogers' sweater, the signpost from"MASH," and puppet Howdy Doody.Music curator krystal klingenberg said the yellow guitar was white in the film"purple rain," and was repainted repeatedly to match prince's ever-changing looks."The guitar has seven layers of paint … a variety of colors," she said.
