About 3,500 years separate the two cups that will sit next to each other at the heart of a new museum exhibit in London.

Since 2012, scholars and University of Oxford officials have been trying to trace a rumor that the oldest Bible fragment ever discovered not just existed but had been mysteriously stolen and sold to American arts-and-crafts giant Hobby Lobby.

In November 2007, Russian President Vladimir Putin raised a glass with his military intelligence officials to honor and celebrate an American named George Koval.

They swept the dirt from its path as the old rocket plane was rolled out of the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum on Tuesday night.

About 3.8 million years ago, a distant human relative took his final steps. Swept into a river delta, his head was buried in sand that, over time, hardened into a stone helmet. The skull fossilized within the sandstone, to the delight of the scientists who discovered the cranium in 2016.

A newly discovered bloodsucking, olive-green leech with three jaws and as many as 59 teeth has been found about 40 miles outside of downtown Washington.

Sadie Roberts-Joseph's sister remembers her as a woman who made things better - who led neighborhood trash cleanups and house repairs, who launched a local group to fight drugs and violence, who founded a black history museum because, as Roberts-Joseph liked to tell everyone, "If you don't know where you came from, it's hard to know where you're go...

The history of the skeleton known to Montanans as the "Wankel T rex," to the Smithsonian as the "Nation's T rex" and to scientists as "MOR555," has three parts. The first we know little about - researchers can't even tell whether that hatchling was a girl or a boy. The second part was 24 billion days of stony silence. But the third ... that's where...

The field trip to Boston's Museum of Fine Arts was supposed to be a reward for good grades and excellent behavior.

I.M. Pei, an American modernist architect regarded as one of the world's leading designers of civic centers and cultural institutions, including the National Gallery of Art's East Building, the glass pyramid at the entrance to the Louvre in Paris and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, died May 16 at a hospital in Manhattan.

Relocated in a gleaming new steel and glass building double the size of its former premises, the Spy Museum in Washington still amazes and charms with the tales and gadgets of the undercover world going back centuries.
