As the nation's capital, Washington DC is the home to many important and prestigious museums chronicling the nation's history, but it also features museums of world-class caliber in arts and science, such as the National Gallery of Art and the many museums that are part of the Smithsonian Institution. While not exactly a museum, among the listings in this section is the fabulous Library of Congress, where visitors can see first drafts of the Declaration of Independence and Lincoln's Gettysburg Address.
