The Newseum — a 250,000-square-foot museum of news — offers visitors an experience that blends five centuries of news history with up-to-the-second technology and hands-on exhibits.

It is located in Washington, D.C., at the intersection of Pennsylvania Avenue and Sixth Street, N.W., between the White House and the U.S. Capitol (seen in the background). It is adjacent to the Smithsonian museums on the National Mall.
