The Newseum offers rare items that can’t be found anywhere else, just like every museum does, but what separates a standard museum from the great ones, is how they display and explain their artifacts. The Newseum does this expertly.
Around the corner from the jaw dropping memorial is a small theatre continually playing an 11 minute film. It showcases the reporters and photographer’s experiences during the attacks. The film brings to life the jarring events of the fateful day.
Right off of the national mall, the Newseum takes viewers through not only our nations history, but the worlds. It shows people what impacts the media played in how events, such as 9/11 and the Berlin Wall, were covered. One of the top Smithsonian museums in Washington D.C., the Newseum is a must see for anyone in the area.
