Our new redesigned entrance has opened along the National Mall on Jefferson Drive. Beginning today, all visitors will enter through this entrance. The doors on Independence Avenue that previously served as an entrance will now be exit-only.

And don't forget that free timed-entry passes are required to visit the Museum in DC.
