The National Building museum has an imposing architecture. Many art exhibitions take place there even if is not that well known place, is a must to see.

Absolutely gorgeous building - even if it's just to peak inside. They have a rotating exhibit typically.

One of the best museums in DC and home to inaugural balls. Take a tour of the actual building - find out why the stairs are such a low incline, fun facts about the ceiling and HVAC, and how they made the columns. Make sure to get to the gift shop for unique and fun gifts!

Admire the National Building Museum's massive Great Hall and its 75-foot-high Corinthian columns. It's a great place for younger kids to play, especially in the "building zone" play area specifically for small kids.
