I like the Hands on History room at American History and Information Age is
fun to walk through as well.

I also like the gem collection in Natural History as well as the dinosaurs.

I particularly like Tom Cole's life cycle paintings in the National Gallery.

I've seen the Science in American Life exhibit in American History and found
it informative, but a little dull and unsurprising (although the film of a
50's commercial for the new miracle fabrics is pretty funny).
