  • Review this attraction
  • 1. World War II Memorial

    This memorial includes 12 bas-relief sculptures depicting America at war. Inscriptions at the base of the fountains mark key battles.

  • 2. Enid A. Haupt Garden

    These formal gardens contrast scale, color, and scent.

  • 3. National Archives of the United States

    Home to the foundation documents of the nation, including the Declaration of Independence.

  • 4. Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial

    The inclusion of FDR’s dog in the statuary indicates the human scale of this tribute.

  • 5. Jefferson Memorial

    Words of the Declaration of Independence are engraved on the wall here.

  • 6. National Museum of the American Indian

    This museum is a national center for Native American culture.

  • 7. Korean War Veterans Memorial

    The 19 stainless steel sculptures in this memorial to the 1953 Korean “police action” wrenchingly evoke the realities of war.

  • 8. Bureau of Engraving and Printing

    Workers here create and print all US paper currency – 37 million notes a day worth nearly $700 million.

  • 9. National Museum of African Art

    An accessible and absorbing collection – be sure to see the pre-Colonial art of Benin.

  • 10. Old Post Office Pavilion

    The view from the tower here is among the finest in the city. A popular food court and shops draw hordes of visitors.
