Museums and Monuments

The museum for the American Indians (funny name for the native Americans I thought) is in a very nice and modern looking building alongside other great museums like the air and space museum or the American history museum. Spending time in all museums in DC is truly a challenge and might take you several weeks.


But even trying to visit all the different monuments will take quite some time. One of the most famous one is the Lincoln Memorial just across the Washington Monument. In the park between them you can find all the different war monuments starting with the famous black wall for the Vietnam War, the Korean War monument to the newest World War II memorial.

But one of the most chilling experiences is the Holocaust museum which is right of the national mall too. It is one of the best museums I saw in DC and is well worth a visit. The end of the exposition is this eternal flame for the victims of the Holocaust.
