Tips for an Inaugural Visit |
|
|
|
With the potential for record-breaking crowds on and around the National Mall, a trip to the Museum on Jan. 20 and the days prior will require extra planning. While the Museum has plans to open early on Inauguration Day, there will be restrictions on where visitors can enter the building and transportation around the city may be affected by the parade and other events. We've created a list of frequently asked questions and will continue to update it over the next few weeks with news about special programs and other information critical to your visit.
