Review of National building museum

The name sounds funny, almost like it was a mistak...

The name sounds funny, almost like it was a mistake or something, but the National Building Museum is pretty neat. It s contents are exactly how it s named- there are tons of exhibits on architecture, building projects around the world and the vision behind them, as well as photography for architecture.

I had never been here before (and I ve been to DC a few times and hit up lots of museums), and I m glad I went. I would say overall it was a cool experience- there really is a lot to learn and it s a topical museum that isn t near as popular or talked about.

But here s my advice: if you haven t been to DC and still need to see the big museums, don t go to this one until you ve been to the others. I just don t think it s worth it, plus you do have to pay admission for this one. Honestly, just walking in to see how darn cool the lobby is is plenty. Cuz seriously, it s stunning and mesmerizing and with all due respect was the coolest part of the museum to me. However, if you re like me and have been to the other museums, then give this one a try!
