Newseum Blends High-Tech With Historical

The Newseum — a 250,000-square-foot museum of news — offers visitors an experience that blends five centuries of news history with up-to-the-second technology and hands-on exhibits.

The Newseum is located at the intersection of Pennsylvania Avenue and Sixth Street NW, on America’s Main Street between the White House and the U.S. Capitol and adjacent to the Smithsonian museums on the National Mall. The exterior’s unique architectural features include a 74-foot-high marble engraving of the First Amendment and an immense front wall of glass through which passers-by can watch the museum fulfill its mission of providing a forum where the media and the public can gain a better understanding of each other.

Wolfgang Puck Catering

The Newseum’s newsworthy venue is perfectly complemented by its exclusive caterer — internationally acclaimed chef Wolfgang Puck. Known as a consummate host, Puck and his personable staff serve a blend of innovative cuisine, including nearly limitless menu options, and impeccable service.

Hotel Room Block

A limited number of discounted rooms is available at the JW Marriott in Washington, within walking distance of the Newseum. Call (202) 393-2000 for more information or reserve a room online.
