Newseum

The Newseum is one of Washington, D.C.’s most fascinating museums! It is dedicated to journalism and to the heroic journalists who capture stories and events for the rest of the world. It showcases famous people, powerful stories, historical events, world tragedies, pop culture, comedy, and heroism. There are many different galleries for many different interests, including a front page gallery, where group travel tours may even be able to find the front page from today’s newspaper from their very own home state! The History gallery will take your mind back in time, showing the front pages and headlines from the past. Your group will be struck with fascination by a portion of the Berlin Wall that is on display, and you will be reminded of the tragedy and patriotism that arose from the terrorist attack on September 11th, 2001 with pictures, literature, and a piece of the towers themselves. Speaking of pictures, if you want to see some amazing historic photos, visit the Pulitzer Photographs Gallery. These photos win awards for the stories and emotion they portray. The interactive exhibits will add excitement to any educational travel tours! Pop culture exhibits show the lives of icons in pictures and headlines. There is even an exhibit dedicated to those who bring us news through comedy! This is sure to make you smile! You will not want to miss the Hank Greenspun Terrace with its beautiful view of Pennsylvania Avenue and the many landmarks that rest there, you’ll never forget your amazing view of this famous American street, and you will never read another newspaper without remembering your trip to the Newseum!
