Go here if you want to understand what that commitment actually meant, in the context of a nation.
monument
701 Pennsylvania Ave NW
General Hancock sits astride his horse on Pennsylvania Avenue, a bronze reminder of the Civil War general who nearly became president—a monument to ambition cast in 1896 and still watching over the Navy Memorial.
museum
1600 M St NW
Serious explorers and curious kids study maps and artifacts inside a century-old headquarters where the obsession with discovery never stopped being the point.
theatre
638 North Carolina Ave SE
Serious actors doing serious Shakespeare, the kind of place where you go when you want to actually *think* during a play rather than just sit there. For people who need their classical theater undiluted and well-done.
modern art museum
1600 21st St NW
A intimate museum where you can actually spend time with paintings instead of shuffling past them in crowds; ideal for anyone who wants to understand modern art rather than just check it off.
