| Pulitzer Prize section--probably my favorite part |
Heidi and I had a chance to take in a great museum with a couple of friends this weekend in DC. The
Newseum, is located in downtown DC. It's not a free museum like most in DC, but it's well worth the $22 admission---which is probably why it's TripAdvisor's #1 rated thing to do in DC.
It's unlike any museum I've ever seen. It's quite modern inside, with several floors of interesting displays that deal with journalism, photography, major world/US events, and other misc. displays. For example, they have the Unabomber's actual
cabin on display, parts of the Berlin wall, etc, etc. They have the headlines of virtually every major U.S. and international newspaper from famous events throughout history. There is just too much to list here. Your ticket is valid for 2 days...and you need about two days to view it all in detail. Highly recommended!
Here are some pictures (not great...taken with my iPhone)
