“I have visited the National Building Museum on three trips to Washington, and have enjoyed my visit each time. The architecture is striking from the interior and exterior. Each exhibit generally describes the history of building materials and methods, which has had a greater impact on U.S. history and culture than most realize.” Joshua Clements, TripAdvisor Reviewer Plan Your Visit
