Newseum

After five years in Arlington, Va, the Newseum reopened in Washington, D.C., on Apr. 11, 2008. Through 15 galleries and 15 theaters, visitors experience the story of news, the role of a free press in major events in history, and how the freedoms of the First Amendment — religion, speech, press, assembly and petition — apply to their lives. After welcoming 11 million visitors in 11 years and showcasing more than 60 changing exhibits, the museum closed on Dec. 31, 2019.
