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

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.

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).

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.

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

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!!

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 National Geographic Society is an impact-driven global nonprofit organization that pushes the boundaries of exploration, furthering understanding of our world and empowering us all to generate solutions for a healthy, more sustainable future for generations to come. 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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

Really enjoyed the JANE GOODALL Exhibit. Amazing life story.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

Great experience you feel you there awesome experience

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

Great for every type of tourist! We went there for the National Geographic GeoBee finals. The museum was amazing. I learned a lot about ancient Egypt. The bathysphere is also extremely cool, and the dinosaur skull is amazing.

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!

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

We thoroughly enjoyed the Jane Goodall exhibit and the Women Around the World! Great for all ages. No lines and staff was very friendly.

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

Maybe this is my fault, but I though this museum would have highlights of various stories and photographs of National Geographic’s most popular articles. It was a tiny museum showcasing just one story in too much redundant detail.Maybe some would like it, but I found it boring and a waste of time and money. Plenty of other things to do in DC that would be a better use of time.

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

Somewhat disappointing exhibit of Jane Goodall. Very repetitive content. Probably best for young children. 3D part was fun as well as part where you imitate language.Seperate exhibit of female photographers work was fabulous

Im quite upset about the staff manning the concessions in the lobby during the Banff film festival on Feb 3rd. I bought a plate of food and a drink handing over $20 plus tips. They neglected to say that I couldnt take either in to the show that was about to start. I would have very much appreciated that tidbit of info before buying concessions a few minutes before the show started. A simple sign or a simple Hey FYI the show is starting and you cant take food inside would have sufficed instead of telling me after taking my money.

We went only to the shop which sells all kinds of stuff related to exploration and the like. Very busy. Good selection.The problem with geography is that it is so stable. What if Western Maryland was given to West Virginia in exchange for the Delmarva? What about giving Texas back to Mexico? We need more maps without labels.

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.

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

Very beautiful the exevicion the queen of Egypt.

We saw the Queens of Egypt exhibit and it was amazing. I strongly recommend visiting it as it has a lot of information and some interactive experiences such as the Senat game. We saw the Queens of Egypt exhibit and it was amazing. A very interesting 3-D film is also showing about mummies. You felt like you were actually there. A great experience for sure.

I have never been disappointed by their exhibitions. Always very informative and very well organized.

Good place for a 2+ hour visit, especially if the featured exhibit is of interest. Check before you go. Saw the Jane Goodall/chimpanzee research exhibit and film. Both very well done. Continuing exhibits of NGS photographic work and NGS history are interesting. Photo exhibits change periodically, also check online for topic. This visit was best for older kids or teens.

Their Jane Goodall exhibition was one of the biggest experience of my life. Absolutely loved it and planning to visit once more this summer.

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.

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.

Very nice. Military and student discounts. I especially liked the Jane Goodall exhibit.

Loved the Queens of Egypt exhibit but I didnt realize thats all they have, temporary exhibits. That exhibit was awesome though

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.

They know how to put on first-class photographic exhibitions, like the present ones on Jane Goodall and Women around the World.

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

The Egyptian exhibit was amazing. I am an Amelia Peabody fan, and that increased my interest. The number of artifacts and the detailed description was fascinating. I lost track of time and ended up staying longer than expected. The exhibit in the main building was free and had video clips of famous people sponsored by National geographic. the clip of Jacques Cousteau and Jane Goodall were my favorite. It was a great experience.

I thought to see more fundings and facts.The museum seems to be for children.Currently presenting giant fish in rivers and the Indiana Johns.I do believe that National Geography has a lot to present than this which I finished in 20 minutes for the both exhibitions.

Hidden treasure of DC. Rotating exhibits. There was a Jane Goodall exhibit as well as a Women: Century of Change photo exhibit. Admission $15 for adults but well worth the price.

Great place to visit with children to learn about history and the past. Currently starring till September 1, 2019 is the Queens of Egypt exhibition. A very interesting voyage in the past to learn a little bit more about Ancient Egypt and the life of the pharaohs and queens of Egypt. Admission in the museum is not free. You can check out their website for more details.

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

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

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

The interactive parts of the Jane Goodall exhibit where great. An interesting use of technology in a museum that I havent seen anywhere else.

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 ...

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.

Although their exhibit space is petite, NatGeo has a creative curator who uses the space well. 3 dimensional standing tours, interactive storytelling, and moving pictures make the exhibit feel grander than the space it occupies. The exhibit we saw? The Queens of Egypt.

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.

I love the duel sides to this museum. Its really nice how the collection changes

Very nice place to visit while in Washington DC

The museum was closed! Just my luck.The store was still open and the first floor was cool. Just wish it was POSTED online, like hey, were under construction.

Nice place to go if youre looking for a smaller museum with some really in-depth exhibits. Points for presentation!

Loved the Queens of Egypt exhibit. The museum might want to review how they present the written descriptions of the various artifacts. Some in my group found the print didnt have enough contrast with the background and was positioned poorly--too close to read with their distance lenses and too far away to use their readers.

Great exhibition on the Queens of Egypt

The actual visit of the permanent site artifacts is free. Very limitedThe exhibition for Queen of Egypt - there is a fee.They offer Military discount.The staff were very nice and restroom is available. Parking was not too hard to find near the museum.

Jane Goodall exhibition was very interesting. The actual photos and movie clips of her are fascinating

It was an amazing experience here. They usually host exhibitions on different topics every few months.When I visited, they had the Queens of Egypt. The collection of artifacts, the detailed explanations and the 3D recreation of Queen Nefertaris tomb were extremely interesting. They also had a collection of mummies, various perfumes and some Egyptian mythological stories.

What a waste of money. For our visit it was around $50. Theres nothing there, you walk around in a loop one the first floor. The size of the museum is about the size of one exhibit in a normal museum. If I could give it zero stars I would. I would recommend you spend your time and money somewhere else.

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

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