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...

Incredible historical documents and exhibits, plus a little something to interest everyone in the family.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.

My 8th grade class went here and my mom forced me to take a video with the lady who sings the newseum song for the place and she was really good but I had to sing with her and I had a soar throat for going so high. It is a really good song you can find her singing it...

The Newseum is an amazing but very emotional experience. I highly recommend a visit, but be prepared.

The whole place, of course, is dedicated to news, from hundreds of years ago to today. There are 6 floors of exhibits as well as a food court and restaurant. Although the ticket price is a bit steep ($21.95 for adults), the good news is that you can enter two consecutive days on the same ticket. I saw an extensive,...

There is a lot to see here. It is not a free museum, but it has some amazing things like, some of the Berlin Wall, the Antenna from the Twin Towers and the amazing wall of newspaper headlines from around the world announcing the terrible event! There is a room where you can see real articles of newspapers through history...

Great review of 911. JKF exhibit was a reminder of the day. Too much of a school outing for me, but my husband loved it.

If you love current events this is your type of joint!
6 floors. So much to see -- don't short change this one.
We ended up going in the afternoon and could only fit in about 1/2 the content, and it was pretty crowded.
When you pay for your ticket you actually get two days. So we went back first...
