Absolutely amazing. We went during the Queens of Egypt exhibit and it was beyond incredible. The way everything was displayed along with the information was amazing.There were also part that were hands on/interactive.Wasn’t too small nor too big. It was a great walk through history.There was also a little 3D area which was pretty cool as well.

Second time Ive been here and I had to come check out the Titanic exhibit before it ended. Was not disappointed. Interesting to learn about the top secret US Navy mission that was actually being conducted and the amazing discovery of the Titanic towards the end of that operation. They had a few things from the actual shipwreck and this from the movie set, like the first class suite Rose was in and her blue dress and some of Jacks drawings (which are actually James Camerons).

The queens of Egypt exhibit is really interesting. I think it’s very relevant to gender equality issues that face us to this day. I made a quick trip through the exhibit but I would plan on spending about an hour and a half to two hours to read all the information.

Enjoyed the NG Museum and the Queens of Egypt Exhibit. I did expect more exhibits though and did not realize that the museum was only on the ground level. A not-so-friendly security person informed me of that. A very interesting 3-D film is also showing about mummies.

The museum is pretty small, currently theres The Tomb of Christ, Titanic and one other exhibition, entrance is $15 per person and they give you 3D glasses for the Tomb of Christ part. Take your time going through everything, at the most youll spend 30-40min here not including the gift shop (you enter on the left and come out from the right through the gift shop). I totally recommend the gift shop, theres stuff there that you wont find on their online site (like jewelry).

Thoroughly enjoyed visiting the National Geographic Museum. It was interesting to learn about different history and watch a short film there, too!

You MUST visit the museum when you are in Washington DC!So beautiful, full of interactive stories, affordable entrance fees, and there is a shop inside where you can buy souvenirs ^^You need in average of 1:30 hours to finish the tour inside and taking pictures 😁

The Egypts Queen Exhibition will be hold until September. Its not big but collections and events are quite good. You can spend around 1.5hrs to 2 hrs here and enjoy wonderful Ancient Egyptian history.

The Queens of Egypt exhibit had amazing pieces. The 3-D rendering of Queen Nefertaris tomb is a must-see. However, I was a little disappointed by some of the presentations and much of the exhibit lighting. Many of the placards were difficult to read, at times a result of the poor lighting, and at others, a result of the size and type of the fonts used. The poor placement of the lights from above often made it difficult to see the placards without casting your own shadow over what youre trying to read. Other than these minor annoyances, the exhibit really was amazing and well worth it.

The museum was awesome. This was my first time going at it was pretty cool!

Great place for family, groups, anyone really! Accurate information, relevant themes, great video and audio. Gift shop was really nice. I bought several Christmas gifts here. This week, themes were Titanic and Tomb of Christ, Holy Sepulchre, geographical location and facts from then and now

Gorgeous, convenient venue of a dutifully prepared exhibit. Delivered an amazing wealth of information succinctly and catering to all ages. Well worth the small admission fee.

Awesome exhibit about women of Egyptian antiquity. Tour guide was kind and knowledgeable. I was disappointed by her traditional Eurocentric pseudoscience explanation of some points but she shed a lot of light on the overall subject, so I gave 4/5 ☆s since the exhibition was superb.

Wow!! What an Awesome Museum!! I’ve always wanted to be a National Geographic Photographer!! Love the Jane Goodall exhibit, absolutely Amazing!!! Can’t wait to go again!!

Queens of Egypt exhibition is excellent! Very informative and very well done. It takes a few hours to see/experience it all.

The National Geographic should be on everyones list of places to go in DC! I go every time Im in town. There is always a free exhibit in the windows surrounding the outside of the building and can be accessed 24 hours a day. There are usually 2 exhibits inside accessible with 1 ticket and a 3D movie which must be purchased separately. The exhibits are always top notch! I saw Day to Night a photo exhibit. IT. WAS. AWESOME! There is also usually a free exhibit in the lobby of the National Geographic working building next door.

Queens of Egypt exhibition. I knew little of the history. Its fascinating. Egypt was a very progressive culture where women were integrated into most roles. They had duties of motherhood and other domestic duties, but held power, were judges, owned land, etc.

The museum is a little small, but packed full of amazing artifacts and information. The Tomb of Christ and Titanic exhibits were on display during our visit. Amazing!! The Tomb of Christ featured an interactive 3D exhibit that was so cool. Because the museum is kinda small, I would suggest taking your time to walk through slowly and enjoy it all. We moved through faster than we would have if we knew there were only two main exhibits.

The place where adventure, courage and dedication are honored and pursued. The exhibition Women is inspiring and magnificent.

Really enjoyed the JANE GOODALL Exhibit. Amazing life story.

Our ultimate vision: a planet in balance.OUR CHALLENGEThe world we have celebrated for more than 130 years is now under threat to a degree that the Society’s founders could not have imagined. When the Society was established in 1888, there were roughly 1.5 billion people on the planet. There are now over 7.6 billion people, resulting in unprecedented negative human impacts on the world’s species and ecosystems.By some estimates, our current resource demands are already 1.5 times what the planet can provide. According to a UN forecast, by 2050 there will be an additional 2 billion people, bringing the demands on the Earth’s renewable resources to almost three times what it can sustain. As a result, we are in the process of dismantling the major ecosystems that are essential to maintaining not only the world’s human cultures, but also all life on Earth.

The current photography exhibit, Women is very good. Easy to spend several hours taking it in.

Very interesting museum. Loved the beautiful art works and photos of Stephen Wilkes.

Very cool museumOnly giving 4 stars because I only saw the Egypt exhibit and nothing else

The Queen of Egypt Exhibition.The five Queens of Egypt from Nefertiti 1539-1514 BC, Hatshepsut 1479-1458 BC, Tiye 1390- 1350 BC, Isetnofret 1255-1245 BC and The last Queen Cleopatra 51-30 BC. This exhibition uses various mediums from 3D, film to artifacts. They have a model of a burial chamber and explain the mummification process.

Queens of Egypt exhibit was worth the visit.It was good to the queens get their time in the sun

One of the best experiences in life. Watched Tomb of Christ and an amazing Day to Night photography exhibition. How inspiring and motivating for photographers like me.

This is an awesome exhibition! I strongly recommend visiting it as it has a lot of information and some interactive experiences such as the Senat game. Though not interactive, the 3D feature gives you a tour of the inside of a tomb which was cool!

It’s rather small, I thought it would have displays about National Geographic (as an organization). The photography section is really good, enjoyed it.

Queens of Egypt exhibit was amazing for any fan of Ancient Egyptian history and culture

OMG. fell in love with this museum. So many different events that are all amazing and mind blowing.

The Queens of Egypt was everything I was hoping for! I highly recommend a visit here, even if you only have a couple of hours.

What a great place for the whole family. At the time of my visit, their exhibitions consisted of ancient Egypt with a focus on Cleopatra. So many relics to see and information to learn. The museum does a pretty good job at labeling every single item with a short history. Pictures are allowed just no flash. It is pretty amazing to see the sarcophagi in which some of the ancient Egyptians were lay to rest. It squares around itself so once you are finished you will end up at the entrance. So dont worry about being hectic or not knowing where to go next. Everything is connected. Highly recommended it. Follow me and my adventures ig: @Sin_Aguayo fb: sin Aguayo

Amazing museum is dc that is a must see. The exhibits change every couple months so there is always a reason to go back. Great place to find unique topics that you never knew you wanted to learn about.

Great place to take family or visitors exhibits , shows and displays...lines can get long, buy tickets online ask for discounts or military can buy for entire group and save.

Amazing experience! Highly recommend it if you want to learn some history. Convenient location. Great for the entire family. 10/10, would recommend!

Very busy on a Sunday afternoon, for the queens of Egypt exhibition! The exhibit is very well designed!Highly recommend looking up special events/speeches that Nat Geo has at night!“The Impossible Climb” talk with Mark Synnot was great!

In a city of outstanding museums, this deserves your time. Impressive technology is used to explore and explain topics. For example, the virtual reality exhibit is far better than others experienced.We had planned an hour-ish but found ourselves there well over 2 hours.If I lived in DC, I would be a member.

One of the best museums. No words to describe, just go and visit.

Not worth the visit to the Titanic exhibition. Expected a lot more. The tomb of Christ was interesting though.

Since I’m in love with the magazine since as long as I can remember it was a great experience visiting the museum.. this is their work place as well so you get to see the NetGeo team and a glance in their work life

Queens of Egypt! Great exhibit! On display till September 2019!

Great space with amazing programming including virtual reality exhibits. Parkingin that area is a nightmare if you dont have a ticket to use their parking garage, so bear that in mind. They also organize amazing trips but theyre very pricey.

WOW....What a well done exhibit!Queens of Egypt is a MUST SEE!

Its the second exhibition Im visiting here: very interesting and interactive! Just bring your credit card, they dont accept debit)

This museum is a lot smaller than we anticipated. However, the exhibit we saw was amazing, powerful & very extensive. It was a homage our many unappreciated, Queens of Egypt. I love learning history about ancient cultures, so seeing more about these powerful, melaninated Queens was a treat. They showed all the things that any black girl wanted to know that they dont teach in school. From hair to harems, from perfume to power, this exhibit was probably my favorite out of all of the museums.The only thing I was disappointed with was that the exhibit was the only thing shown. The rest of the floors were just offices in the building. The exhibit also had to be shut down early because of a tornado warning.

This place is awesome , they got this VR experience which you can visit The Tomb of Jesus Christ and is out this world , the pictures and art is really gorgeous(Day and Night collection) ...great place to visit ...

Fantastic museum with something new each time. The current exhibit covers the Queens of Egypt and does a great job detailing womens lives in ancient Egypt. One of the best parts is a 3D video exhibit where you appear to enter the tomb and explore. Highly recommend.

This amazing place , its cost only 12 dollars But its worth it!

2 large rooms. One with beautiful large photo prints all over (but nothing you couldnt see online), and the other large room with a more interactive setup, which is pretty cool, but I wouldnt say its worth the money overall... for our kids at least.

Let me just say that visiting National Geographic was something I never expected to do in a lifetime. It was a rewarding experience and I learned much from it.

Great experience you feel you there awesome experience 🤓😎

This museum did an excellent job with the layout of their information and artifacts. It was a nice flow of patrons, and I appreciate that it was made clear what was a replica and what was on loan as an artifact. There is a great 3D video on Queen Nefertaris tomb within the exhibit. Highly recommend visiting the Nat Geo Museum for their general free admission displays and also their seasonal Queens of Egypt exhibit. Beautiful, clean, and friendly staff.

Was Great rotating exhibits filled with multimedia and sensory experiences. We saw the Queens of Egypt exhibit and it was amazing. We enjoyed all of the displays. The 3D tomb tour was fabulous. The only negative inattentive staff in the gift shop. They were more interested in talking with each other than customers. All other staff were polite and helpful.

First place to visit on my list and it didnt disappoint! The permanent exhibit and current ones on Sharks and photographer Brian Skerry are just amazing. The cafe serves really nice food for little price and stuff are just so friendly. Would highly recommend.

Visited during the Queens of Egypt exhibit and it was wonderful. Staff was helpful.

Very nice place to visit while in Washington DC

Great place for the family with small kids. Exhibits are geared for children 5 to 12 years old. Shark exhibit had some great photos of sharks.

I loved the 3D rendering of the tomb of Christ and the titanic show.

Always a 5 star visit.This time we came to see the shark exhibit. Information education and tonns of fun

Loved the Queens of Egypt display. The 3D room was super cool and the interactive experiences made the tour fun. Spelled my name in Egypt symbols. Not as awesome as actually being in Egypt ( I was there last year) but still cool.

Very beautiful the exevicion the queen of Egypt.

I didnt get to go to the museum but I went to the gift shop they didnt the maps I was expecting.

Great interactive and 3D displays!

Beautiful museum of mostly photography! Two sections to cover. Beware of show times if youre on a time crunch.

The tomb of Christ exhibition (time limited) was certainly the high light - it was so well done and gave us a much better perspective of Jerusalem even after having actually been to the site. Highly recommended!

Great museum! Can go through it in about an 1.5 to 2 hours. The Tomb Exhibit was very good and extremely educational. I thoroughly enjoyed the Titanic Exhibit because I actually have was able to see things that I had never seen or read about before.

This was an enjoyable experience! The Day to Night exhibit was fun for me because I love wildlife, and the Jerusalem exhibit about the burial place of Christ was super interactive which kept it interesting! Im normally not much of a museum person due to my attention span, but this was actually worth it. Show your college ID and its only $13.

We had a great time.

I attended the museum as a daddy-daughter date with my two daughters. We were greated upon entering the museum by the front desk attendant. She gave us great service with a smile. We entered the exhibit hall and were drawn to the visual beauty of the exhibits. It was well laid out and educational. We sincerely and thoroughly enjoyed it. Job well done NGM.

It was ok. Saw the Tomb of Christ. It’s a walking movie. Then walked through the untold story of the Titanic. I was thinking there would be more. Kind of a let down. But it was ok and I guess worth the money.

Very interesting museum with lots to see. I will go again.

This place has the coolest events, pictures, stories and adventures around!

Great museum, the Titanic Exhibit is wonderful. The Tomb of Christ exhibit was pretty cool, but it seemed a little expensive for what it was. The Cafe had a great selection of food for a very reasonable price.

This was such a waste of the $15 entrance fee. This place used to be a legit museum now it’s just some pictures in a exhibit and a hallway of stuff... that’s it. I also double checked with staff if I was missing anything and nope I saw it all in like 20 minutes. I wish I ready the reviews before coming. Shame on me.

Very interesting and had an interactive 3D exhibition too! Affordable tickets and friendly staff

They didnt have enough thing to see

The Tour of the Tomb of Christ takes the magazine that you had on your coffee table and brings it to a whole new level. The VR tour at the end is an experience like no other. A combination of science, religion, art and history. This is something for everyone.

I actually was there to see the Queens of the Nile exhibit. I throughly enjoyed the artifacts. It was a combination of the mast married with the technology of today.

It was a really nice experience!

Very interesting n inviting!

Exhibit was greatThe museum was cleanA handful of Interactive programs such as 3D program, an ancient Egyptian game etcConsSome of the pieces had no lights so it was hard to read and see the figuresThe most important thing to note is that its one floor.

Was there recently for the Queens of Egypt exhibit. Top notch as Nat Geo exhibits usually are...

This museum is way too small. 3 stars

An amazing museum especially if you’re a photography and travel junkie like myself 🙂 We went to the Women exhibit that’s there right now and I HIGHLY recommend going! It’s $15 for entry but completely worth it in my opinion. Make sure to try and catch a guided tour to get more insight behind some of the photos.

Really enjoyed this museum

Loved this mesuem. It is tucked into a small space compared to the other museums, but it is laid out well.

My first time visiting this museum and I thought it was great. The Jane Goodall exhibit was really well-thought out and organized. Slightly text-heavy but also had a lot of really interesting visual displays, including a replica field tent. I ended up learning a lot more about her life and chimps than I expected. Even reading every label and display, we finished the Goodall exhibit in about an hour a half, so it is a smaller museum. There was a second exhibition on photography featuring women which was also very interesting. It was nice to see so many different, admirable women in various roles and how they got there. Overall, would highly recommend for varied, rotating exhibits and more of a low-key museum experience than the Smithsonians.

Small place that didnt have too many visitors. It was fantastic. When we went, there was an exhibit about Egypt. It was so cool. They had Egyptian games set up and there was just so much history. I would highly recommend checking it out.

Ok place not much to see

Nice, beautiful and interesting place to visit.

Queens of Egypt exhibit was lovely. Bring a jacket, it was quite chilly in there!

It was our first visit. Loved the exhibits.

We visited the Queens of Egypt exhibit during a business-trip to DC. Despite the exhibit space they have available their curator has made it a great experience.The way everything was displayed along with the information was amazing.There were also part that were hands on/interactive. It wasn’t too small nor too big. It was a great walk through history.

Nice museum with lots of fun gadgets for kids. The museum is, however, a bit small.

The two exhibits they had were very good.

One of the best museum!!!

Coolest collection of pics!

Great exhibition on the Queens of Egypt

Expensive and small exhibits. There was no depth in the Jane Goodall exhibit. The focus seemed to be on impressive technology and preaching environmentalism rather than teaching. The other exhibit was a photo gallery of woman from around the world. Should have done my research before going.
