10 Apr 08 Newseum to open Friday
Update (9:10 a.m.): Gen. David Petraeus and Co. are doing a press briefing from the Newseum right now. It looks like they are on Jeopardy. “We’ll take ‘Horrible Quagmires’ for $1000 Alex.”
The $450 million Newseum is opening in Washington D.C. this Friday. For some reason, I have mixed feelings about this place. On the one hand, it would be a great place to see artifacts and examine the history of journalism, on the other hand it’s a $450 million museum that features Anna Marie Cox’s slippers as part of an exhibit.
Gross waste of funds, or necessary addition to the museums of D.C.?
Either way, I’ll probably try and make a pilgrimage to the place this summer or by the end of the year. One thing is for sure, the place is hella cool looking.
