Which noun in the passage contains a capitalization error? The smithsonian institution is the world's largest museum. It is located in Washington, DC. The museum is actually nineteen different museums and galleries. The National Zoo is also part of the Smithsonian. The museum complex includes the Air and Space Museum, the American History Museum, and the Freer Art Gallery. The Freer houses over a thousand works by the American painter James McNeill Whistler. People come from all over the world to see the collections. One visit to Washington is not enough to see the entire collection.
