This museum houses a GREAT selection of American historic facts and memorabilia from this nation's founding to the present.

I believe a good review of their safety/security practices might be needed. As it was our last day in DC, we made an effort to stay, but it is beyond me how the museum could allow hundreds of angry protesters and their placards to come inside with zero security checks. Overall, it was just a really stressful experience and we could not enjoy the museum properly. The requirement to wear face coverings was largely being ignored. Those people had presumably travelled overnight as you could also see many of them sleeping on sofas, benches and on the floor. The place was then very crowded, uncomfortable, hectic and noisy. All of them were carrying signs, placards, and potentially even weapons in their bags, and I do believe it is unacceptable that the museum let them all in without even a glance. That meant that hundreds of protesters were already lining up by the door before 10 o'clock and, when the museum opened its doors, were all admitted with no security screening or bag check.

However, we were unfortunate enough to visit in a morning in January when a major protest was scheduled to happen around the National Mall later on.

Let me just start by saying that the museum actually looks to be pretty good, with many interesting exhibitions and free admission.
