How Puzzling!

In celebration of National Game and Puzzle Week, play a new edition of our Virtual Scavenger Hunt!

Listed below are five questions drawn from our online exhibitions. The questions are linked to the virtual presentations that contain the answers. If you can answer them correctly, you could win a prize!

How much does glass artist Howard Ben Tre's First Vase weigh?

Who was St. Rose of Lima whom the artist Gronk painted in 1991?

Who modeled for Edward Hopper in his oil painting Chop Suey?

Where was the fire which destroyed all but a handful of John Mix Stanley's Indian paintings?

Ben Shahn was a poster maker during the 1940s but he first gained notoriety in what profession?

We will accept scavenger hunt answers through December 1, 2000. All correct entries received by that date will be entered in our prize drawing for a 500-piece jigsaw puzzle depicting a painting from the Smithsonian American Art Museum collection. The winner will be notified by email.
