Very moving and informative museum. Lots of stories and rare videos. Loved the reading about and exploring personal stories. Lots of exhibits throughout the museum. We needed 2 days to see everything as they started telling us to leave at 5pm.
We were a bit confused when we first went in as we didn t know how the museum flowed. There s elevators to the left side when you enter that you should first go up and make your way through the museum. But we didn t know that. just thought it was just an accessible elevator, so we took the stairs to some exhibits. But didn t realize till after we saw some aftermath exhibits. But it would ve been better to see those after the top floor exhibits.
Also there s security to get into the museum and all the museum cafe (the cafe isn t in the main museum, it s a separate building with a spectate security). But I d say the cafe was just okay. Nothing that special. Would have eaten elsewhere if we weren t so hungry.
Anyhow! Definitely recommend as a museum to see if your visiting DC. And it s free!
