Brilliant. No other museum like it
Tuesday, January 17, 2006
I didn't give this five stars because although the museum is unique, the subject matter is a little bland. This museum takes up an entire city block near Judiciary Square. Once inside you'll find open spaces with differing architectural presentations to dazzle the eye. Technically, the museum is free, but a small $5 donation is strongly encouraged. Because it's such a departure from the stuffy Smithsonians nearby on the mall, the place is becoming the favorite museum of my friends and me. Particularly of interest is the record-number of Roman columns supporting the building's infrasturcture. It's almost like a city within a city.
