We took our grandson to Washington for a few days and the Newseum (but please, change the name!) was a standout. For an 11-year-old and two 60-somethings, this was a moving and fascinating experience. We could easily have spent a full day there. Journalism and history are intertwined and this was a place where one could view history through the... More

A multi-dimensional museum that lets you relive history through the eyes and pens of journalists. You cannot see it all in one day so, if you just have a few hours, review the offerings so you can select what you especially want to see.

Very powerful and informative exhibit on the Berlin Wall. The rest of the museum is really informative, although the ticket prices are a bit steep.

This is by far the best museum I have ever been to. Seven floors of history as seen through the eyes of the news. We spent 4 hours and only saw 2 1/2 floors. Well worth the money as your ticket is good for two days. If I ever get back to Washington I would go see the rest of... More

Have been to DC many times over the years so am reasonably well acquainted with most of the museums and monuments. The Newseum is a living history seen through the eyes of reporters through the years. They highlight different topics through changing exhibits. While I was here the significant topics were the Kennedy years, the Berlin wall, Tim Russert. All... More

This is not the first museum that you think about when you plan a trip to Washington DC but it is truly worth the time. There are so many interesting and exciting things to see and read here. Take tissues as the 9-11 section and movie will bring the tears. If you are limited on time skip the 3D/4D movie.... More

One of my favorite museums ever visited. I was so impressed by the variety, quantity, and quality, of the exhibits. Make sure you leave enough time to watch several of the short videos (or go back the next day for free), especially the 9/11 video. Kids will love how interactive the museum is while adults will enjoy the substance. You... More

This museum is outstanding. It can be pricey but it is worth it. There is so much to see and do there and I have never been anywhere like it. Great for all ages but mostly for adults as they are able to appreciate all it has to offer.

My husband and I took almost two days to completely see this amazing attraction. The JFK exhibits were quite moving and a real "eye opener". The Newseum really providers visitors with a balanced insight into the history of the media and how it has served to shape how the public receives information. Be prepared to spend the day...We did find... More
