If you have bee around for few years this is a great walk through recent history - well laid out and good quality exhibits. For younger guests - a great introduction to the history of communication.

The Newseum is an incredible museum dedicated to the first amendment, news and how it shapes the way we see the world. I am a self-admitted news junkie, but you don't have to love media to appreciate and enjoy this museum. There are a variety of interesting, interactive and engaging exhibits, but not to be missed is the September 11th... More

This museum sets the standard for the template for what museums will be like going forward. Only a museum about news, would fully utilize all the mediums around now, to engage the museum goer. They have found engaging, impressive, slick ways to captivate you in each exhibit. I can't recommend this museum enough, if you have some time, and money.... More

Been to DC many times and did not know of this museum that's been here for 5 years!! This is an excellent find and not to be missed. Just make sure you have a couple of hours (probably more) to spend. I will definitely be going back for another visit.

I can't say I was overly impressed by this new venue in DC. I am old enough to recall where I was when Kennedy was shot...and of course our shuttles that were lost...and of course, 9/11.

Recently had the pleasure of visiting the Newseum and enjoyed it immensely. The building itself is spacious and nicely designed with a wonderful outdoor deck. The exhibits were extremely interesting from the moment you arrive and see a section of the Berlin Wall, artifacts from 9/11, the Pulitzer Prize winning photos and much, much more. Will return because there is... More

If you are into modern history in any way, this is a phenomenal place to go. It has so many displays of important events in the last 100 years that you can (as I almost did) spend all day there. reading and seeing the reports/videos/audios of events as they happened provide a freshness to them that allows you your own...

They reccommend starting your tour at the top floor (5th) and then working your way down . They have an excellent Berlin Wall exhibit, as well as a 9/ 11 exhibit. Very powerful . but the most awesome besides the President Kennedy family info and asassination news reels, is the EPIC PHOTOS of the Pulitzer Prize winning photos exhibit. Staggeringly... More

Incredible historical documents and exhibits, plus a little something to interest everyone in the family. Beautiful building with a decent food court. A worthwhile stop if you're visiting DC.
