Yes and It was an amazing experience.
Sibelius says:
I've been there - loved the presidents and history of American wars exhibits the best.
Evelyn_Saenz says:
This summer we stopped by the National Museum on our way back from Vermont. We hadn't been there in years and were looking forward to seeing the First Lady's Exhibit. It was even more interesting than before. I hadn't realized that First Ladies were not necessarily the wives of the presidents. Sometimes they were sisters or even just friends.

In California when I was a child, really would love to go back...or better yet, see those in Washington DC!
