Museums!

Dear friends, congratulate that you have chosen GW, which locates in one of the most amazing city in the world--DC. To be honest, you will never get bored in this city. I'll give a brief introduction to my favorite, Smithsonian Museums.
Smithsonian Museums is the world's largest museum complex. Most of the museums have "permanent exhibition" and "special exhibition". The special exhibition is changing from seasons to seasons in order to make sure you always have something new and exciting to see. What's more, most of the special exhibition are really inspiring and interesting. It never fails me. Moreover, all these museums are free! Yes, they are free! You can stop by whenever you want and explore your own journey in these wonderful museums. Please follow me to my most frequently visitted museums.

National Air and Space Museum

It's all about aeroplane, space ship, universe and etc. Most of them are permanent exhibition. It's really a big one. I have paid more than 10 visits to it yet I still haven't carefully gone through all the details in the museum. If you have watched , yes it's in this museum.
Also, it's very convenient to get to this museum as it's just near metro.

National Portrait Gallery

Locates in China town, another my favorite museum. Usually, it has half special exhibition and half permanent exhibition. Some of the special exhibition are really about masterpiece in the world. You should keep an eye on its website. It also has all kinds of performances in the court of museum every week.

National Museum of Natural History

From insect to dinosaur, from rocks to rain drops, from flowers to tree, from germs to atmosphere, you can find explanation for everything you can see in the world here! It's the most fun museum, together with air and space museum, in DC. If you have to bring together with some kids to take a tour in DC, these are the places you don't want to miss.

National Gallery of Art

It's not part of Smithsonian Museums, but, anyway, it's free and nice and close to Smithsonian Museums :P
It has east and west wings, east for classic art and west for modern. One of the best inspiring places as well.

You can find all the detailed info for the museums I mentioned above here @http://www.si.edu/ . There are a lot of museums that I didn't include.

Enjoy your new life in DC!
