Anthropology![]
George Brown Goode of the Smithsonian wanted for “the collections (of the Smithsonian) to form a museum of anthropology, the word anthropology being applied in its most comprehensive sense”[1]
At first glance this would seem to be bigger then Science! but if one bases it on the actual content of the 20 museums Smithsonian it narrows down and forms a really bizarre wildcard skill.
In all cases Anthropology! would not grant the skills need to make things the museums display. For example Design History only allows the knowledge regarding history of design; it doesn't provide the skill to actually design anything.
