The mission of the Newseum, located in Washington, D.C., is to
increase public understanding of the importance of a free press and
the First Amendment. Visitors experience the story of news, the role
of a free press in major events in history, and how the core freedoms
of the First Amendment — religion, speech, press, assembly and
petition — apply to their lives. Considered one of the most
interactive museums in the world, the Newseum has seven levels with 15
galleries and 15 theaters. Exhibits include the 9/11 Gallery Sponsored
by Comcast, which displays the broadcast antennae from the top of the
World Trade Center; the Berlin Wall Gallery, whose eight concrete
sections are one of the largest displays of the original wall outside
Germany; and the Pulitzer Prize Photographs Gallery, which features
photographs from every Pulitzer Prize–winning entry dating back to
1942. The Newseum Institute is the education and outreach partner of
the Newseum, including the First Amendment Center, the Religious
Freedom Center and NewseumED, an online learning platform for teachers
and students. Featuring dramatic vistas of Washington, D.C., the
Newseum has become one of the city’s most sought-after venues for
conferences, weddings, movie premieres and special events. Two
state-of-the-art television studios host programs of all kinds, which
are broadcast around the world each week. See for yourself why the
Newseum is called the “must-see” attraction in Washington, D.C.
Located between the White House and the U.S. Capitol, a visit to the
Newseum is a conversation-inspiring experience you won’t find
anywhere else. Your booking is valid for the entire date of booking.
You are not limited to the specific time slot.
