The Newseum will be closing its doors for good on December 31, and visitors are lining up to say goodbye.
Well, folks, this is it. The Newseum has one last deadline, and it's coming up fast. Its current location will be shuttered permanently, and the exhibits preserved for future tours and installations.
You can get a 15 percent discount on tickets online as they wind things down.
Spend your holiday week with us one FINAL time and see the importance of a free press and the First Amendment.

Whether touring the museum one last time or shooting their own footage of the iconic building, people are coming to create that one last memory.

The Newseum exhibits span the spectrum of mediums from photography to digital displays and even pieces of the Berlin Wall.
