Dedicated to free press and free speech, the Newseum showcases the history of news gathering. The displays include a video wall of live news broadcasts from around the world. Here visitors have the opportunity to anchor a news program, an exhibit especially popular with children. For a fee, children can also put their faces on the covers of famous magazines, including Life and Sports Illustrated. Interactive displays are the rule here, but there is much to see in a variety of dynamic formats. The Newseum website continues to offer a wealth of information regarding the news media, traveling exhibits, and on-going educational programs. Washington visitors can also view an outdoor version of the Newseum's popular 'Today's Front Pages' now on display at the future museum site.

Ultra-modern and interesting... but not free
The new Newseum is a real spectacle from the super modern architecture to the vast array of exhibits and theaters. Check it out if you have 3 or more days in DC.
