Mostly in DC. We used to live Maryland for 8 years. My boys enjoy those since they were babies. Those museums all have kids event. We LOVE the story in art at national gallery of art in the summer. Now, they have winter section also. We still go back every year for those wonderful museums with our dear friends.
