Two months shy of its 10th anniversary in a glass-and-steel showpiece on Washingtons most prestigious thoroughfare, executives at the struggling Newseum will meet Thursday with a top real estate firm to explore options that include selling their building or moving to another location.
The previously undisclosed talks with officials from the international firm Eastdil Secured which were confirmed by museum management after it was contacted by The Washington Post are the latest sign of uncertainty at an institution that has been swamped in debt and roiled by leadership shake-ups.

So these people think anyone cares about their propaganda throughout the years? The only way it’s useful if you’re researching a book about how bias and political aspirations changed world events over time!
I’ve been. It wasn’t worth it, and I regret patronizing a museum to an industry that has become so spectacularly corrupt. I hope they bulldoze it.
Around 2012, I paid the $25 entry fee, and walked through.
I felt silly afterwards. There’s really nothing there of consequence. I did have a cup of coffee up on the roof area but it’s a total waste of money and time. They would be better off selling the property and just disbanding the whole museum entirely.
Heh. Journalism died shortly after Obama’s first election. It is only fitting that the museum of a dead profession also dies.
Same here. Also the monstrosity purporting to be an African American museum.
Museums are for Old stuff.
News should be New.
(PS, There is nothing new under the Sun.)
Garbage found in journalism? Not so much.
Today good people in our government are releasing declassified texts and other incredible information showing obvious crimes and collusion at the highest levels of our secret agencies.
The press is coordinating and trying to stop the release of this information and/or moderating. They are not journalists, they are political party!
LOL!
Plenty of dead malls it could relocate to.
I liked the newseum. Journalists, bot so much.
My favorite exhibit was the award winning photographs.
I'm really into history and could have spent much more time there than we did. I'm sorry to hear that they're closing. I think the entry price has hurt them a lot.
Ted Turner should buy all the crap and move it to storage in Atlanta. If he really cares...
I knew it! RUSSIA!!!
Russia and auto spell. LOL
Trump should buy it and turn it into an extension of the Trump Hotel.
Does the Museum house the Fake Newscaster Hall of Fame?
Buckead’s famous FR post is on display there. Seriously. I saw it last year and knew what it was from 20 feet away.
