Hi everyone welcome to the washington DC
series. Today we're going to talk about
the National Museum of American History.
In this video will tell you what is the
most convenient way to get to the museum
and what are the top attractions inside the
museum as well as tips to make sure that
you get the most of your visit there. The
most convenient way to get around
the central D.C. area is by Metrorail. You
need to take the blue, silver, or orange
line and exit at the Smithsonian station.
Make sure to take the National Mall exit and
then you can just walk to the museum.
If you're in the National Mall area but too far
from the museum to walk, take a DC circulator bus
it's pretty cheap and it saves you from
way too much more walking, and if you
have young kids this is a lifesaver.
Admission is free and the museum is open
from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. daily
except on Christmas day. If you're an
American History and culture buff and
Technology buff from
the 19th and 20th centuries then this
museum is for you.
The National Museum of American History
is collected and preserved more than 3
million artifacts that shows some aspect
of American history such as the original
Star-Spangled Banner, Abraham Lincoln's
Top Hat, Dizzy Gillespe's angled trumpet for you jazz fans
Dorothy ruby slippers from the
movie The Wizard of Oz.
The major theme in this Smithsonian
museum is the exploration of major
themes in American history , people,
culture, and democracy with many displays
it has five major galleries. The Price of
Freedom, American Presidency, the First
Lady's, American Stories and the
Documents Gallery. This museum will take
about two or more hours depending on your
interest and you can combine this with
all the other Smithsonian museums around
in this area or the Capitol Building.
