Read the wall tiles in restrooms - and laugh. .. In irony for more than obvious reason.
Dara FisherDecember 26, 2012
Yes, it is a paid museum, but totally worth the ticket--$20 gets you in for two days, so take your time!
Alex MurphyJuly 13, 2011
Your ticket is good for 2 days- which is good, because you'll need that much time to get through everything. New favorite DC attraction.
kathleen watsonDecember 1, 2013
Could not see everything in one day-not to worry. The entry fee allows two days visit!
Mark J.February 16, 2015
Best museum in DC - interesting, original, relevant, and constantly updated.
T LJanuary 1, 2016
If u are journalist or reporter, you must visit: documents, photos, objects and many more. Each one, has their own story
Mark AdamsJune 23, 2017
The best place to get a great shot if the Capitol above the street light poles etc
Alex DobyanNovember 28, 2014
Well worth the price of admission for anyone interested in history or politics.

Lady Gaga's meat dress. Go for free during Bank of America 1st full weekend of the month w/ BOA debit card.
Shoshana SchillerMay 18, 2010
The best museum in D.C. and your ticket is good for two days -- and it's worth the return trip. I'd list my favorite exhibits, but it would be every one.
Amol KSeptember 22, 2015
One of the best museums out there. You'll need a few hours.
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!
Kathryn LindsaySeptember 6, 2015
The Berlin Wall exhibit is on the ground floor - worth a look!
Iffat JokhioApril 6, 2015
Was pretty neat. Way less crowded than the smithsonians but there's also an entrance fee. It is pretty pricey, so only go if you're really interested.
Angela McClendon JohnsonMarch 21, 2010
Check out the Elvis exhibit along with EVERYTHING else. Huge range of emotions at this newseum. One ticket covers TWO days for the full effect. Great food court, to boot!
Andrew ReamsSeptember 27, 2013
Make sure you ride the elevator it's the only one like in the world
Ree-An AJune 18, 2011
A real feast for the eyes: textures, attention to detail, installations, environmental graphics, photography... Visual artists would be delighted :-)
RachelApril 14, 2015
Great museum! Very moving 9/11 exhibit.
Spencer SchoebenJanuary 9, 2013
Favorite museum. I've been numerous times and there is always something new to see.
Ethan MayJune 12, 2013
SO COOL! Leave plenty of extra time. Especially if you love the news.
WiredAugust 23, 2012
An experience that blends five centuries of news history with up-to-the-second technology and hands-on exhibits.
Sharon FMMarch 25, 2013
I could spend a week here. Start at the top level and visit it all as you go down to the Berlin Wall
Erik GrayApril 14, 2017
A great place to spend a half a day or more. So much to see, hear and read.
John (aka “PHATFoodFan”)September 19, 2016
Check out the outdoor seating on the higher floors when it is nice out
Colin RaffertySeptember 5, 2016
Buy your ticket on your phone before you go in--you get 15% off and can skip the ticket purchase line.

The Newseum offers visitors an experience that blends 5 centuries of news history with up-to-the-second technology and hands-on exhibits.
Paull YoungJanuary 3, 2012
Awesome museum, well worth the admission price. Plan for at least 4-5 hours here.
Hannah LuddySeptember 26, 2017
Well worth a visit! Particularly liked the 9/11 exhibit.
USA TODAYJune 22, 2012
Soviet spies once passed along microfilm inside hollowed-out coins. Somehow, one found its way into the pocket change of a newspaper delivery person and is on display here. Read more
Mike DJanuary 31, 2018
My favorite museum in DC! I love the newspaper archive section!
Gabby DarioNovember 3, 2011
Don't leave without checking out the restrooms. They have really interesting news headline bloopers on the walls and in the cubicles. It's a good laugh :)
Michael JobmannSeptember 28, 2013
Fantastic place! A must see for anyone visiting DC
The TelegraphMarch 12, 2013
Or jump on the metro to the Archives stop and see the widely acclaimed Newseum (newseum.org; £14 adult/ £8 child) – a stunning interactive world of news and information.
Kelly BooneJanuary 17, 2012
This is a wonderful museum, but I have to warn you, some of the news articles and photographs are so heart breaking.
Fred ReddigMarch 10, 2017
Exhibits are awesome. 911 exhibit is very emotional.
Erin McLaughlinFebruary 2, 2016
The best museum in DC. It is worth the price.

Best museum in DC, and worth the admission fee.
Logan LeasureAugust 12, 2018
The best museum in DC. Plan at least half a day.
Shane HayesOctober 1, 2013
At times emotional and surreal, one of the best museum experiences in America
Kristen MeyersJuly 1, 2013
Absolutely one of the coolest museums in dc. A must go!
Maz BerrahoJanuary 6, 2011
911 section was well done. Really emotional display. Vast collection of everything from around the world. Amazing place. :)

The bathroom walls have old headlines from newspapers that are incorrect or mean something different than intended!
Stephanie HolguinAugust 17, 2011
Be sure to let the kids (and adults) report the news in front of a live camera in the Interactive Newsroom. #fun
Sophia E.February 12, 2016
You can go in on two consecutive days with the same ticket. It's nice to break up the visit. :)
Ananda RochitaOctober 23, 2011
If you want to just check out the gift shop you can just sign in your name without having to pay admission but make sure to come back and sign out!
Tyler WaldmanDecember 29, 2012
Don't spend time checking out the amazing exhibits. Instead, wait in line to check your coat then get back in that line to check another item.
Sandy vanRheeAugust 5, 2016
This is not just another museum! Check out all the great headlines for yourself.
Kelly WheelerOctober 12, 2014
Must see especially the Berlin Wall and 911 sections
Curt SteffanJuly 9, 2017
It's very interesting on how "news" was spread from the late 1800's to current.
Ankur AgarwalApril 7, 2013
Great museum. Very good exhibits. However 4D movie is lame.
