Yes, virtually everything in D.C. is free so when a place charges for admission you might wonder if it's worth it... for the Newseum the answer is YES! A great place for kids and adults to learn about media and journalism. Lots of interactive displays, lots of fascinating info. Kids love it. Adults love it. It's not a 'look but... More

Newseum is very unique in DC - it's one of the only museums you have to pay for - but it's totally worth the time and money (and your pass is good for two days if you don't get to everything and want to come back). Six floors in all with some truly fascinating exhibits and artifacts. The largest piece... More

This news museum is devoted to news from a historical perspective. We highly recommend it even if you don't watch the news on a routine basis. It has a tremendous about news events going back in time - even ancient times. Some of the exhibits can be depressing such as the news covering the 9/11 attacks in NYC but overall... More

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. It seemed that they played on those topics the most.There was a special exhibit regarding the "making of Camelot", more or less the story... More

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
