museum-marketing-consulting-history

Washington D.C., the capital and heart of America, has many museums that display the rich culture and history of this country and the world. Some people might dismiss museums as simply boring galleries, but D.C. offers an array of interesting museums ranging from historic spy weapons to dinosaur skeletons that will captivate any type of audience. Even more, each museum was created with a unique purpose that is worth-while for people to explore. Piedmont Avenue Consulting, Inc provides you with 5 interesting musuems to visit in Washington D.C..

International Spy Museum

The International Spy Museum is an interactive and playful center that investigates spy techniques and innovations. Some parts of the exhibit will make you think analytically like solving an exercise used by CIA analysts to discover Osama bin Laden’s location. Other sections display spy innovations, such as a pistol disguised as a lipstick or a camera disguised as car keys. The museum shows espionage history and stories that have never been revealed in mainstream media, which makes this museum a fascinating place to visit. Even more, since Washington D.C. is at the heart of international relations, the Spy Museum offers insight into espionage within the United States and their interactions with governments across the globe, which gives interesting implications for the future. 

Find out if you are spy-worthy at the International Spy Museum on 700 L’Enfant Plaza Southwest Washington, D.C., 20004 or call 202-393-7798.

The National Gallery of Art

The National Gallery of Art has one of the most impressive selections of artwork in the entirety of Washington D.C.. The collections are mostly from European and American artwork, ranging from Rembrandt to Jackson Pollock. Even the Sculpture Garden is a big attraction, which displays modern sculptures on 6.1-acre land. Because of its large selection, the museum is divided into 2 buildings: The East and West buildings. The West building is dedicated more towards traditional artwork, while the East building focuses more on modern artwork.

To admire traditional and modern art, visit the National Gallery of Art on Constitution Avenue Northwest, Washington, D.C., 20565 or call 202-737-4215.

The Smithsonian Institution is massive complex holding 19 museums and a zoo. The National Air and Space Museum is one of the three museums mentioned in this article that is worth visiting. Air and space vehicles are rather new inventions, but there is actually an extensive history to explore. The National Air and Space Museum shows the robust innovations ranging from the Wright brothers’ original flyer to models of nuclear missiles. Even more, there are occasional live presentations with guest astronauts and space engineers who discuss their tremendous feat to achieve new records in aviation.

You will see Harriet Tubman’s hymnal to photos of the Civil Rights movement, all of which has molded America into country it is today. Although it is easy to hear about these tribulations, the museum offers tangible insight to connect with the past and evokes reflection for the future of African Americans.
