Newseum  http://www.newseum.org/

Considered one of the most interactive museums in the world and one of the most popular destinations in Washington, D.C., the Newseum features 15 galleries and 15 theaters on seven levels. The exhibits include the 9/11 Gallery; the Berlin Wall Gallery, which has one of the largest displays of the original wall outside Germany; and the Pulitzer Prize Photographs Gallery, featuring photographs from every Pulitzer Prize-winning entry dating back to 1942, among other powerful exhibits.

The Newseum’s mission is to increase public understanding of the importance of a free press and the First Amendment. Visitors experience the story of news, the role of a free press in major events in history, and how the core freedoms of the First Amendment – religion, speech, press assembly and petition – apply to our lives. 

  

United States Holocaust Memorial Museum   https://www.ushmm.org/

Chartered by a unanimous Act of Congress in 1980, the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum opened in 1993 to honor the victims and survivors of the Holocaust and to ensure the lessons of the Holocaust are taught in perpetuity. The exhibits strive to broaden understanding, to preserve the memory of those who suffered, and to encourage visitors to reflect upon the events of the Holocaust as well as their own responsibilities as citizens of democracy.

The museum has hosted more than 40 million visitors to date. It contains almost 13,000 artifacts, 80,000 historical photographs, 49 million pages of archival documents and 9,000 oral history testimonies, among many other educational and research assets.
