The Newseum

The Newseun moved to its new home beside the Canadian Embassy on Pennsylvania Avenue in 2008.  It is a wonderful building with so many interesting displays that it took Linda and I two days to do it justice.  The displays about 9/11 and Katrina were heart wrenching.  There were few dry eyes during the film about 9/11. 

The whole theme of the museum follows the path of the media from it's inception.  It is done thoroughly but with a flair to keep it interesting.  It includes all media for example newspapers, radio, television, and the internet.

There is a balcony on the fifth floor all along Pennsylvania Avenue so I took advantage of getting some photos of the buildings in the area.  The city of Washington has always impressed me with the size and acritecture of its buildings.  Even after a month of walking through town, I still am in awe.
