Newseum opens today

The Newseum is now open. Admission is free today, but starting tomorrow, $20. The price seems steep, especially with the Smithsonian's free admission, but it is worth it

I thought I would round up some articles about the museum, some pro, some con. I reviewed it last week after attending a preview.

ARGH! Wish I'd known sooner- I had the day off and $20 is pretty steep. Darn it.
