Newseum

Some places you see because they’re new, others you visit before they’re gone. The Newseum is one of the latter. After 11 years and millions of visitors at its Pennsylvania Avenue location, the museum dedicated to celebrating the First Amendment announced in January that it was closing its doors by the end of the year. The Newseum will eventually relocate to a more financially sustainable location—one that seems likely to be less prominent than its current address. Until then, wander the hall of Pulitzer Prize–winning photographs, see pieces of the Berlin Wall, and stand atop the Hank Greenspun terrace for panoramic views of the Capitol building and the capital city while you still can. —Abby Vesoulis
