The The Impotent King (2005) in English SubtitlesSmithsonian works to preserve the most iconic aspects of history, and thus, it's acquiring a soon-to-be-historical artifact: the original ice bucket from the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.
Yes ladies and gentleman, with any luck, years from now your children and quite possibly your children's children will be able to marvel at the first bucket that led the world into the Ice Bucket Challenge craze of 2014.
SEE ALSO: Why Is Everyone in Your Facebook Feed Dousing Themselves in Ice Water?In case you've somehow managed to avoid being "challenged" or had no internet access in 2014, here's a recap. The "Ice Bucket Challenge" involved bashfully announcing you had been challenged to partake in the Ice Bucket Challenge, dumping a bucket filled with ice and freezing cold water on your head, and then frigidly challenging others to do the same in order to raise awareness for ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.
Anyway, the viral challenge marked a very important time in our lives, and now the Smithsonian is properly acknowledging it.

The sacred bucket will reportedly be part of the Smithsonian National Museum of American History's "Giving in America" exhibition. According to the museum's website, the permanent exhibit, which opens on Nov. 29, "looks at the history of philanthropy’s role in shaping the United States."
The exhibit will work to showcase "four major themes of American philanthropy," and the famous ice bucket will be joining artifacts like an alms box from the 1800s.
In case this news hasn't convinced you that the Smithsonian is totally hip with the trends, just last week the museum took part in a the latest social media challenge, the "Mannequin Challenge," by sharing a past tweet that also made use of the hip term "Flashback Friday." Talk about cool.
