Suggestions for Museum near Washington

Jaspio H. • June 17, 2016Fantastic overview of the history and innovations of aviation and space exploration. Exhibits are fairly adult but there are plenty of activity stations to keep the young occupied.

Eugene S. • August 13, 2014Choose back back two seats for the best view

Asaf B. • June 17, 2016Great museum, very educational. You should get a bit early to get tickets to other exhibits. Also we really liked that they had a memorial wall about other nations who had genocide

Loren • August 17, 2013Love this little jewel box museum--a nice quick respite

Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum • April 9, 2013We often have safe solar telescopes setup outside to view sunspots and other features on the Sun. Check our calendar for evening stargazing events.

Oscar F. • March 11, 2016Great place to start cafe and wifi available here. Clean restrooms and maps of all sorts to start your adventure. There's people to help answer questions and also gift shops.

Shannon B. • July 15, 2019Get their early.... order tickets online and you can start when you want .... they are extremely nice and good with kids

Ghostly International • July 15, 2011In my opinion, best museum in DC. They have an excellent collection of both well known and unheard of contemporary artists and the architecture of the building really adds to the overall experience.

Gaurav B. • February 17, 2017I go there for the special exhibits but permanent collection is also quite good.

Sofia C. • December 31, 2015Don't overlook this museum! The Japanese Rinpa screens, Chinese bronzes, Islamic ceramics and Indian statuettes are breathtaking. You can come for The Peacock Room but the Asian art is well worth it.

Char • May 7, 2021Really cool and well done museum. Lots of interesting history exhibits!

Estefania H. • December 23, 2016Loved the exhibition and the building as well. Great content and not so big that you get overwhelmed.

Eric • June 3, 2015Stuck a tiny piece of moon. Expect huge line ups to touch it

Peter F. • May 29, 2022Interesting that when I was at the Bilbao Guggenheim last week they were also featuring A Marcel Duchamp exhibit. No it was Dubuffet, not Duchamp

L K. • October 1, 2016Excellent display of historic rockets, and a full scale model Hubble Space Telescope. Plus the Apollo 11 lander! What could be better?
