There ARE FBI tours.....just security at the entrance like
all the others.

Nobody's mentioned the boat tour to Mt. Vernon. I don't
know if it's running
in October, but it's the most fun way to get there.
Interesting to me as a museum quasi-professional are - the
newly opened Spy
"museum" (just don't ask them what a registrar, curator or
conservator is,
this isn't that kind of a museum); Air & Space's flight
interactive games;
American History's horrid Material Matters dispay (a great
example of what
not to do) and their better done "Within these Walls"
display of a house
within a museum; National Postal Museum (taking a one-note
topic & turning
it into a symphony); and the Building Museum (one of the
best spaces ever
turned into a museum, and with exhibits that are always top
notch).
The Phillips Gallery at Dupont Circle, Corcoran (now
hosting that silly
Jackie O' dresses exhibit), both wings of the National
Gallery of Art and
the Hirshhorn are almost always hosts to excellent shows.
There does also seem to be lots of things that are closed.
No White House
tours (unless your in a pre-arranged student group), no
Declaration of
Independence or Bill of Rights, no American Art or Portrait
Gallery, no FBI
tours.
