| NEWSEUM: The world's first
interactive museum of news - the Newseum - features innovative,
world-class architecture and dozens of new exhibits and films. This
$435 million project is one of the world's most exciting museums, and
has become a popular destination for many of the nearly 20 million
people who visit Washington each year. Visitors will enter the Great Hall of News, a 90-foot-high atrium, and begin exploring 14 main galleries, including the News History Gallery; World News; Internet, TV and Radio; and galleries featuring familiar icons from the original Newseum (in Arlington, VA) such as Pulitzer Prize Photographs, the largest collection of Berlin Wall sections outside of Germany, and the Journalists Memorial. The Newseum showcases 15 theaters - including the 535-seat Forum Theater where visitors can experience a 4-D feature that takes you to great moments in news history - two state-of-the-art broadcast studios, an interactive Newsroom, terraces with dramatic views of the U.S. Capitol and National Mall, a museum store, food court and more. The Newseum is to journalism and the First Amendment as the Louvre is to painting and the Air & Space Museum is to aeronautics. G-MEN AND JOURNALISTS: NOW OPEN ON THE CONCOURSE LEVEL . . . The FBI's efforts to fight crime and its starring role in popular culture are examined in "G-Men and Journalists: Top News Stories of the FBI's First Centure," now at the Newseum. With 200 artifacts - including the Unabomber's cabin, J. Edgar Hoover's desk, Patty Hearst's coat and gun and the electric chair that killed the Lindbergh baby kidnapper - nearly 300 photographs, dozens of historic newspapers and interactive displays, the exhibit reflects the sometimes cooperative, sometimes combative relationship between the FBI and the news media. 9/11 GALLERY Sponsored by ComCast: This gallery explores the horrendous events of September 11, 2001, and the extraordinary challenges that faced the journalists trying to report the news to a shaken nation and world. The gallery includes a tribute to photojournalist William Biggart - a journalist who died covering the attacks - and some of the final photographs he took. Also featured are front pages from around the globe about the attacks and first-person accounts from reporters and photographers who covered the story. |
| NATIONAL
ARCHIVES:
Many people know the National Archives as the keeper of the Declaration
of the Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. But they
also hold in trust the public records of ordinary citizens - for
example, military records of the brave men and women who have fought
for our country, naturalization records of the immigrants whose dreams
have shaped our nation, and even the canceled check from the purchase
of Alaska. In Public Vaults, the permanent exhibit in the National Archives Experience, you can experience the feeling of going beyond the walls of the Rotunda into the stacks and vaults of the National Archives. Here you will encounter fascinating original records (including Abraham Lincoln's telegrams to his generals, audio recordings from the Oval Office) and new interactive exhibits that allow you to "touch" and explore some of the most interesting documents, photos and films they hold. The Public Vaults displays at any given time about 1,100 records-originals or facsimiles of documents, photographs, maps, drawings, film or audio clips, allowing you to see the raw materials of our American democracy. Documents range from important treaties and legislation dealing with grave matters of state to snippets of the fascinating stories of individual citizens such as letters to the President and citations for military bravery. THE ROTUNDA FOR THE CHARTERS OF FREEDOM is the permanent home of the DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE, CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES, and BILL OF RIGHTS. These three documents, known collectively as the Charters of Freedom, have secured the rights of the American people for more than two and a quarter centuries. |
