I love the SpyMuseum, and I’m looking forward to the opening of the National Museum of Crime and Punishment

But you’re right, the prices are a bit comparable. My difference has been the exhibits. I guess I’ve been less than impressed with the ads for the Newseum. I’m sure you’ve heard them - all they talk about is having a news helicopter and several floors of movie screens and TVs. I’m sure it must have more, but everytime I hear an ad, I think I’m not paying $20 to watch TV.

I’ve heard the ads on local Baltimore radio for the last month and I agree that if it’s nothing more than TV screens, then I would agree that the $20 is a bit steep. But then again I pay more than $100 a month for digital cable and high speed internet access….

Thanks for the info on the National Museum of Crime and Punishment.

BTW – if you are interested in sports and baseball history in particular and anywhere near the Baltimore area, you might want to check out:

Crime and Punishment Museum looks awesome, I didn’t even know it was ready to open so soon.

Spy Museum was very cool, my husband hasn’t been yet so it might be work taking a day off work and going to both. I would never undertake this on a weekend.
