NEWSEUM, Newseum

Hello, my name’s Marcy, and I’m your personal guide. Along with MyWoWo, I’d like to welcome you to one of the wonders of the world, the Newseum, a stunning interactive museum focused on freedom of speech and the press and mass media.

Tickets cost $25.95 plus tax for adults and $14.95 plus tax for young people under the age of 18. That’s really rather expensive but kids under six get in for free and it is one of the most popular museums with tourists and especially fun for children.

The 60,000 square meters building has 15 theaters inside, an equal number of galleries and a giant projection screen. There is also a television newsroom.

Walking into the 26-meter-high atrium, you’ll find a section of the Berlin wall, the longest conserved chunk, and a series of documents that piece together its construction and demolition. There is a gallery dedicated to the history of comics and another to the technologies and investigative methods used by the FBI.

The rooftop terrace is also a must–you can enjoy the unforgettable view of the Capitol from the sixth floor. You can also read the first few pages of the day from one hundred newspapers from all over the world, including those from your own country....
