“Extensive collection is accurate”
I went with my partner and parents, and the collection is enormous and definitely worth seeing in DC. It's one of the many excellent museums there. They feature artifacts covering all parts of American culture, such as a dress donated by Celia Cruz, items from Krispy Kreme, and an electric streetcar from St. Louis. The collections are astonishing.
