At Newseum, you can experience modern American history, reliving iconic events as they happened and were reported in various forms of media. Going far beyond a history of journalism, the Newseum combines films, interactive exhibits, and static displays to show how the public learns of breaking events.
You'll see parts of the Berlin Wall and hear the first news reports of its fall. One can follow the entire series of information reports related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Amazing facts can be read about President Lincoln's assassination that happened a century earlier. The heart-wrenching incident of the event of 9/11 is completely covered and presented through a film show and an entire collection of Pulitzer Prize-winning photographs shows some of the most compelling and dramatic images of the past century. The news literally comes to life here, and most visitors find themselves spending a lot more time engrossed in the experience that they have never expected.
