Newseum

Friday night I went on a private Newseum tour with the candidate sell event, but we didn't have enough time to see everything. So I went back Saturday morning to see everything and spend more time; it's such a cool museum! The museum is about the First Amendment rights and being able to freely express ideas and the exhibits were all related to that. There was a piece of the Berlin Wall and one of the watch towers in the museum. And the coolest part I felt like was the FBI exhibit with all the 9/11 artifacts. There were debris from the site and people's credit cards and cell phones. It was a eerie exhibit but really interesting. There was also a Pulitzer Photographs that had shocking stories as well. All the photos were so good and captures whatever was happening during that time period. And the museum roof was also really nice, looking up and down Pennsylvania Avenue. It's too bad the Capitol is ugly under construction.


Front entrance.


Only the West Side of the Berlin Wall had grafitti because on the East Side if you got close to the wall you'd get shot. 


Part of the Exit door of the twin tower.


Pretty  nice rooftop.


Museum had a lot of glass to signify the transparency of the press.


The atrium.


Stopped by the White House to see the National Tree.
