Excellent and interesting. We spent about two hours and I look forward to returning again to spend even more time. I'm a tour guide and this museum will be added to my "must see" list for my clients. Joe K.- ANA Transportation more

Visited on Saturday, Dec. 27, 2008...not too crowded in mid afternoon. Kids enjoyed all the hands on features and interactive options like driving a police car, using a gun during a simulated crime. They are home to the real studio where America's Most Wanted tv show is filmed. Would recommend to others. Thought the price was fair. more

My husband and I (32 and 28, we live in DC), visited the new Crime & Punishment Museum last night, and I must say we were both pleasantly surprised.

This museum was far more informative than I thought it would be. I went not expecting much and ended up spending a whole morning there. Lots of interactive exhibits really get you immersed in the museum. It was far more extensive inside than it appeared from the outside. A very pleasant suprise. more

My fiancé and I recently had the privilege of visiting the Crime Museum on August 16th 2008, and we had a wonderful time at the museum, a ton of interesting historical information and displays etc and we would definitely come back again and recommend it to anyone! We went to every museum we could think of on our trip to... more

Based on the reviews on this site we took the time to visit the National Museum of Crime and Punishment in DC. We shelled out our $18 each and proceeded through the displays. For a new museum, the displays seemed very dated. Some of the items of torture were both scary and interesting at the same time. Many of the... more
