Completed in 1935, an amazing 146 years after the inception of the court, the U.S. Supreme Court is among the most impressive of the Capital's numerous architectural marvels.

As comprehensive as many Washington, DC museums, visitors can expect a number of exhibits on Court history and past Justices, historical films, and lectures hosted in the Courtroom whenever the Court is not sitting. You're never short of things to do in Washington, DC.
