National Building Museum: underwhelming
On Saturday, I went to the National Building Museum for the first time. Although it's not directly on the Mall, it's still pretty conveniently located just outside of Judiciary Square station or a short walk from Gallery Place/Verizon Center. So getting there was no problem, and in fact, I've walked past the building a number of times when arriving or departing DC from Judiciary Square. Only today did I finally pay the museum a visit, enticed by the prospect of a group discount on the ticket price (usually $10; $5 per person at the group rate if you have at least 10 people. Thanks to GGWash for organizing the outing so we could all get the group discount.) Being interesting in urban planning and architecture now, I'd been meaning to visit the Building Museum at some point, since it seemed like a natural fit for those interests. Now that I've been there, I don't think I'd go back unless they got a new exhibit that seemed really interesting. The museum
