Newseum


One of the big advantages of living in the DC area is all of the cool museums we have access to. There are so many, and their exhibits often change to keep locals coming back. We're able to just hop on the metro, go a few stops, get off, and head to the attractions of our choice. This past Sunday we explored the Newseum.

The Newseum, or the Newsoleum as Steven Colbert would like it to be named, offers visitors an experience that blends five centuries of news history with up-to-the-second technology and hands-on exhibits. It has seven levels of galleries, theaters, retail spaces and visitor services. It offers a unique environment that takes museumgoers behind the scenes to experience how and why news is made. In short, it was awesome.

Here are some pictures from our day.

Be sure to check out the embedded news video. I think you may know the reporters!
