There's a new interactive museum opening up in Washington DC. Located near the United States Capitol, The Newseum will open its doors to the world on April 11, 2008. The opening of this new museum has been highly anticipated ever since the old Newseum shut its doors in Rosslyn, Virginia several years ago.

There will be 250,000 square feet of exhibit space featuring 15 theaters, 14 major galleries, two state-of-the-art broadcast studios and a 4-D time-travel experience!
A main feature will be the the glass-fronted "window on the world" facing Pennsylvania Avenue and a 74-foot-high, 50-ton marble tablet emblazoned with the 45 words of the First Amendment making this new museum a number one priority not only for the tourists of Washington DC, but also the residents!

One of the things I always liked in visiting the Newseum was the exhibit that featured the front pages of many of the nation's newspapers...every day. Add to that the tickers that display the latest news of the day and visitors will always be up to date on world events!

I've only touched on some of the electrifying things the Newseum will offer visitors. For more information on the Newseum, you can navigate to:
