The National Museum of American History is an ever growing tribute
of America's past. Once the Museum of History and Technology, much
of the display here concentrates on the history of science and
technology and the effects on the American way of life. The 'information
age' exhibit gives a fascinating view of present day technology
and offers some interesting predictions for the future. The cultural
and political displays provide a good overview of some of the
most important events in American history and give a concise history
of popular culture.
