National Building Museum
 

Description

Designed after Italian Renaissance palaces, the brick and terracotta building is palatial and contains a massive 15-story interior with eight Corinthian columns that are 75 feet (23 meters) high. National Building Museum's space has been the site of inaugural balls and a popular Christmas television special. Several tiers of arcades ring the Great Hall, offering space for a variety of architectural exhibits. Foremost among these is a look into the planning and design of Washington, DC. Children will love the touchable model of the nation's capital. Admission is free, but a donation is encouraged.

Fascinating
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/25/07
Take the guided building tour - it's the history of DC and the Federal government told through the history of this great building. A hidden gem in the heart of DC.

Best ballroom/lobby. The exhibits are unique and so interesting. Very educational, I highly recommend a visit to Washington DC. Their gift shop has a lot of unique gifts as well as books.
