Not the best known Museum in DC by far, but a superb one. Great variety of rotating exhibitions. Best for the more informed visitor, not as much the casual one. Unique insight to the Continent for those who are curious and open-minded.

This is just a classic institution of DC. Steps from the White House today, but it wasn't always so. Has moved many times since its founding in 1856. The last was in 1983. Still has a lot of antiques and old memorabilia making for a unique decor and sort of a gilded age or turn of the century upscale "saloon" atmosphere. Its almost always a busy place, so make reservations or choose non-peak time to visit.

Yes its in Anacostia, which has some of the rougher, poorer areas of DC. But this National Site is really great. And btw, one of the best views anywhere of DC is from the front porch of the historic house on the bluff.
