National Building Museum Architectural splendor

401 F Street Northwest (between 4th & 5th streets) Washington DC 20001 +1 202 272 2448 http://www.nbm.org/

This palatial building contradicts its slightly dull and dusty name. Designed after Italian Renaissance palaces, the brick and terracotta building contains a massive 15-story interior with eight Corinthian columns that are 75 feet high. The space has been the site of inaugural balls and a popular Christmas television special. Several tiers of arcades ring the Great Hall, offering space for a variety of architectural exhibits. Foremost among these is a look into the planning and design of Washington, DC. Children will love the touchable model of the nation's capital. Admission is free, but a donation is encouraged.
