Opening March 10, 2017, *Scale: A Matter of Perspective* will explore the concept of scale from multiple perspectives, including investigation of the cosmos with telescopes and microscopes, models that scale things up (e.g., molecular models, glass flowers, embryological models) and those that scale things down (e.g., celestial and terrestrial globes, or ethnographic dioramas of village life), scale in literature (such as Lewis Carroll's *Alice in Wonderland*), and social scale (Just how large *was* that crowd on the National Mall?).
