Couldn't leave D.C. without visiting this museum. It was our last stop when we were in the National Mall. After visiting majority of the places in the National Mall, I almost skip this museum because the line was out the door to the sidewalks.nnHowever, the line move fairly quick. When you get inside the door, there is security check. First time seeing this at a museum. Almost felt like I was at the airport. They do a quick check of your bag, but nothing too serious. It was pretty quick.nnThere are a few floors and each floor is dedicated to different exhibits. Jewels, artifacts, sea-life, etc. You have to be patient to see certain exhibits. It was a bit crowded inside with many tourists in D.C. Regardless, this museum should definitely in the top of your D.C. list.
Long overdue review. This is a great place to spend the afternoon. The exhibits make the observer reframe their personal experience. A good getaway without having to go to the airport.
Loved seeing the Ruby slippers. Great museum... especially being able to see the star spangled banner.
I WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT GENERALLY ABOUT SMITHSONIAN COMPLEX OF MUSEUMS ITS THE LARGEST IN EXISTENCE BEST MOST POPULAR AIR AND SPACE MUSEUM . U CAN FIND EVEN WRIGHT BROS PLANE HERE. ALL MUSEUMS INCLUDING MUSEUM OF AMERICAN HISTORY ARE VERY WELL STOCKED WITH EXHIBITS AND ARE COMPLETE. AFRICAN MUSEUM OF ARTS AND NATIVE AMERICAN MUSEUM ARE WELL REPRESENTED. ALWAYS CHECK LOCAL COVID 19 RESTRICTIONS . DC is known for large squares with some of them having 8 to 12 streets passing through them with statue loc in the middle of it. Check Lincoln Washington Jefferson Memorials Monuments to different Wars White House Capital Hill Supreme Court Bureau of Engraving And Printing Archives . For Washington u would need 2 weeks to see how cultural and diverse city is represented. RZED.
This is one of the more “fun” museums, especially for kids, with its pop culture displays and areas on technology, inventions, and presidents. Getting to see the Star Spangled Banner is especially meaningful and they’ve done a lovely job displaying it. It would be more enjoyable though if some of the guards weren’t so hyper-vigilant. Nothing annoys me more than guards that purposefully follow us around just because we have children, and offer completely unnecessary warnings about not touching rails around exhibits or pointing at exhibits because “an alarm might go off,” despite the fact that we weren’t doing anything wrong and our hands were well outside of exhibits. It’s quite the turn off when you’re trying to spend an enjoyable and educational day out with your kids to feel like you’re being watched and followed and my children were afraid to go near anything after that for fear of being scolded.
