    Wow - We were impressed!

    My family and I visited... read more interactive activities and the films that ran constantly. We got to see a large portion of the Berlin Wall - a great teaching point for our children. We looked at newspapers dating back to what seemed like the invention of the printing press.... I could not believe the number of newspapers they had on display. The Newseum was organized, engaging and downright FUN. Every level of the Newseum had something new and interesting to offer.

    As a photographer, I was expecially interested in the Pulitzer Prize winning photojuornalism on display. this display was breathtaking.

    Every inch of this place tells a story - it's the story of our country, our history and our lives. We didn't know what to expect heading in the door but we were very, very glad we had stepped in. We went to several musuems on our trip and THIS museum was by far THE BEST. I highly recommend this museum to everyone. Be sure, though, to reserve several hours for your visit. There are 4-5 stories of galleries to see.

    An intelligent museum

    When you think of all the history and substantive news people these days are missing because they're blinded by flashy infotainment or flogged by biased blogs, it's great to see a museum dedicated to speech that affects us all. There are so many interactive displays and media gadgets here to nearly make any adult jealous learning wasn't this engaging or fun even a generation ago.... read more TV Reporter" stations and test your on-air chops, or showoff your knowhow in NewsMania rapid trivia games. The exhibits also expand your sense of modern history in ways textbooks just can't, with media displays relaying stories just as people living in the time would have received them, making history seem very immediate. There are also several state-of-the-art theaters, like the 100-foot-long Newseum Big Screen and the Sports Theater.
