Summay:

Kites have enjoyed a longer continual history than any other toy except dolls. Yet kites have also been instrumental in advancing bridge-building technology, aeronautical research and military strategies. The Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES) has produced an exhibition called 'Colorful Kite Tales' that captures the fascination and diversity of kites.
