Arts & Culture

Another "hidden gem" of DC. It's popular, but often just last on the list compared to other areas on the mall. The architecture is beautiful, and the history of our country is captured with exhibits of Jefferson's library and Lincoln's inauguration Bible.

One of the more low-key museums, since it's tucked away in Chinatown and off the mall, though now that the Obama portraits are there, it's been very packed. Check out the Atrium for food or coffee - very cool space.
