I truly enjoyed the National Geographic Museum. It was relatively small, in comparison to the Smithsonians, and it isn't free. That probably helped it to get such one of a kind exhibits and displays that you can't find anywhere else. I went on a weekday afternoon and was able to enjoy the museum almost completely to myself. They have rotating exhibits and I was lucky enough to catch one about wildlife photography and another about Indiana Jones. As far as I can tell these are the official props from the movie. They had the hat & whip, various outfits, and possibly every artifact Indy ever touched. It managed to seamlessly weave archaeology into the exhibit and was very informative. The photography exhibit was a stunning display of animals large and small, common and endangered, made to increase awareness of the plight of all creatures. I was happy enough with my visit to the museum to purchase a dual membership. I feel the benefits that I will get from the magazine, various exhibits, and movies over the next year are worth the price and the proceeds go to a great cause.
