I agree. Smithsonian is tops for me so far. Was so thrilled to see the Coelacanth and Ankylosaur!
I just got back from the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh, and that was almost as good, just a bit smaller. Got to touch a moon fragment, a Mars fragment, and a metallic meteor. Very nice, but much smaller, mineral room. Lots of great dinosaurs and especially pterosaurs. And as the main contributor on !superbowl@lemmy.world, they had over 20 owl specimens. Great place.
Spy Museum was a blast and worth paying for in a city of mostly free to notch museums. Way more content than I expected, and very interactive.
Goes without saying if you are in D.c. all the Smithsonians. But I also recomed the Spy museum. Very unique and new building is very cool.
I second the Spy Museum as well as the Smithsonians.
The Newseum was also a great museum but it has been closed.
