The first movie filmed in the Smithsonian Institution.
Director Shawn Levy told a National Public Radio interviewer that once the Smithsonian Institution agreed to lend their name to the film, their curators were very helpful and willing to share information about the real-life characters represented in the movie, but Levy had more trouble with the intellectual property-holders for the fictional characters represented. For instance, in the Darth Vader cameo, a LucasFilm employee came on-set to observe the scene and tell the filmmakers what Vader would or wouldn't do.
(at around 41 mins) When first introduced to Napoleon Bonaparte and Al Capone, Ivan the Terrible says his title is mistranslated, and he calls himself "Ivan the Awesome". This is basically true: Ivan's title is indeed a bad translation. His Russian name is Ivan Grozny, and the word "grozny" does not have a bad connotation. A more accurate translation might be "Ivan the Fearsome", "the Magnificent", or "The Admirable".
Hank Azaria filmed test scenes (some of which are on the DVD) of his character Kahmunrah with various accents including American Southerner (from Alabama) and English Cockney, before settling on a Boris Karloff impersonation.
One historical detail not mentioned in the film is that many of the taxidermy specimens on display in the Smithsonian's Natural History Museum were shot by Teddy Roosevelt himself on his safari trip in 1913, including the lion standing on a pedestal in the Hall of Mammals.
"Kah Mun Rah: [Darth Vader holds his hand up with a pinching motion] What is that? What is that? What does it mean? I don't know... you've lost me. Is that your breathing? Because I can't hear myself think. [pause] Kah Mun Rah: Let me tell you kindly, just simplify. There's too much going on! You're not evil, you're asthmatic, and what's with the cape? Are we going to the opera? I don't think so. Goodbye! [Darth Vader and Oscar the Grouch leave]"
"Tuskegee Airman #2: [to Amelia] Ma'am, I'd just like to thank you... Amelia Earhart: For what? Tuskegee Airman #2: Well, a lot of people didn't think we could fly, either. Thanks for clearing the runway. [salutes her]"
