See the door that led to Nixon's resignation at the Newseum and visit the exclusive Watergate complex of shops and condominiums in Foggy Bottom. -- Green Guide Editor

Although admission is $22 for adults, it's worth it for anyone interested in journalism. Very complete coverage of press/society interaction!

Worthwhile way to spend the day. The photography and Berlin Wall exhibits were my personal favorites.
Camille WrightMarch 7, 2015
Really interesting museum. Highly recommend. Plan to spend several hours here.
Ellie PinesAugust 29, 2014
Unlike most museums, you have to pay to get in here. Still, admission is worth the cost once you see the multiple stories of amazing exhibits.

This museum was awesome! Give yourself plenty of time to see all the different levels.

Simply the best museum on the planet in terms of interactivity, engagement, fun, emotion and education. Modest admission price is well worth it. And ticket is good for two consecutive days.
Alan LiuMarch 31, 2014
Please plan a day to visit from the top level to the ground. The news studio is really amazing
Nela LichtscheidlNovember 18, 2013
Absolutely fantastic. At first, the $20 ticket seems way too expensive, but it's a two-day pass of complete journalism heaven and definitely worth the money.
Brad CarterJune 1, 2015
Very interesting displays of original pieces on major historic events. A bit slanted on opinion.

Interested in the original gate scandal? The Nixon Watergate tapes are accessible to the public and kept in an archives facility in College Park, Maryland. -- Green Guide Editor

History of TV, Radio, and the Internet is the perfect thing for a Communications major! You'll be able to learn so much, and it's great seeing actual artifacts right in front of you.

The Newseum is a great interactive museum in the heart of DC. Make sure to check out the news reporter section where you get to video tape yourself doing a remote shoot.
Robyn GrossbergFebruary 10, 2017
Incredible museum focused on First Amendment rights as played out through the media since the beginning of American history.
ToryBurchJune 26, 2013
The collection of Pulitzer Prize-winning photographs is amazing, as are historical artifacts like pieces from the Berlin Wall.
NatalyaMay 5, 2013
Great museum. Beautiful view of the city from the 6th floor. 4th floor is dedicated to 9-11 events and houses the antenna on the WTC tower.
Erik BrokFebruary 15, 2016
Worth the entrance fee. FBI exhibit, Vietnam exhibit and pulitzer price photos where all great!
Meghan PrattOctober 12, 2015

Nikon Pictures of the Year exhibit is the best- bottom floor. And the foam microphone in the gift shop is lots of fun!

The Berlin Wall is a great exhibit. Also the story about 911.

Worth paying the ticket for. Great FBI & News Reporting section. A visit to Newseum is recommended :)

Even only reading best daily headlines from newspapers in the showcases on the building will leave you entertained 😁
The Capital GrilleSeptember 17, 2013
Standing between the U.S. Capitol and the White House on Pennsylvania Avenue, the Newseum is a perfect venue for conferences and special events.
Greg BarilaAugust 27, 2012
News Corp employees get in free. Apart from all the awesome news history, the cafeteria is surprisingly good. They have a wood oven for pizza.
Andrea NewlandOctober 13, 2010
Great place to see all of the news, new building is very nice, rooftop view of the Capitol etc in DC...but it is too spread out, hard to figure out where to start..would prefer it in chronological ord

One of the best museums ever! Love the Berlin War gallery and Pulitzer Prize photos and WTC coverage.

I could spend a week here. Start at the top level and visit it all as you go down to the Berlin Wall
Paul RossiMay 4, 2019
Best curated museum. Every exhibit is extremely detailed and amazing!

One of the top destinations in DC. Plan on spending the day, if you get tired, here are numerous small theaters showing films where you can rest your weary feet.

Loved the history and headlines. Pulitzer Prize willing photos and there stories were my favorite

The Pulitzer Prize Winners exhibit on photography is fantastic. Every photo that's won since 1942 is featured with descriptions of many of them.
Will LonghiniJuly 31, 2013
Be sure to check out the view of Pennsylvania Avenue on the 6th floor!Go early on Sunday morning as it's fairly empty then.

A great place to spend a half a day or more. So much to see, hear and read.

The best place to get a great shot if the Capitol above the street light poles etc

If u are journalist or reporter, you must visit: documents, photos, objects and many more. Each one, has their own story

Food Section: Mac/cheese rich & creamy. Generous portions--best food value I've had in DC. Vegetarians, get roasted veggies & the mac/cheese. Be hungry!

The Newseum offers visitors an experience that blends 5 centuries of news history with up-to-the-second technology and hands-on exhibits.
Angela MillareApril 22, 2013
Be prepared to be affected by the 9/11 exhibit- totally worth the entrance fee alone. Trust me, a must see!
Cassie PApril 2, 2014
The 9/11 and interactive anchor exhibit are a must! I would allot 2.5-3 hours here!
Michael DuntzJuly 6, 2011
The Newseum takes about four or five hours to properly experience it entirely. It is definitely worth the time and ticket price for those interested in anything dealing with journalism.
