LOOKING FOR THE

Best Museum in Washington DC

Map My Location
THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES
700 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington DC, DC 20408
(202) 357-5000
The Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, the Magna Carta and amazing exhibits. Visit this one first or the Russian embassy, your choice commie!
NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY
750 Ninth Street, NW Washington DC, DC 20001
(202) 633-8300
Recently reopened, this museum has it all. Historic paintings, trinkets and weapons used by civil war heroes, modern art, sculpture and too many rooms to walk through. It's conveniently located in Chinatown too so you can have a drink before, after or during. Try the Hotel Monaco first and maybe a Cougar will give you a hug later in the Warhol room.
NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART
4th and Constitution Avenue NW Washington DC, DC 20565
(202) 737-4215
If we told you that this museum had paintings by Monet, Van Gogh, Da Vinci, Homer, Seurat, Pollack, Picasso and countless others, is that something you would be interested in? Of course it is you Art History Major.
SMITHSONIAN NATIONAL AIR AND SPACE MUSEUM
6th & Independence Ave., NW Washington DC, DC 20560
(202) 633-1000
A fan favorite, this place excites the kids more than the adults but if you want to see how America once ruled outerspace before NASA started screwing it all up, here's your chance.
THE NATIONAL MONUMENTS
The National Mall Washington DC, DC
For visitors to the Capitol you don't need much more than just a half days walk around the National Mall. From the Lincoln, to the Vietnam Memorial, to the WWII Memorial to the Capitol, White House and Supreme Court. These are the pieces of marble that keep America kicking ass.
SMITHSONIAN UDVAR-HAZY AIR & SPACE MUSEUM
14390 Air & Space Museum Parkway Washington DC, DC 20151
(202) 633-1000
This new Smithsonian museum is incredible, except it's all the way out by Dulles Airport. It has the actual Space Shuttle Enterprise and the bomber that dropped the nuke on Hiroshima, the Enola Gay. This one's for Dad. America, F Yeah! (A free shuttle leaves the National Air & Space Museum regularly)
