Newseum by Kamila Moravcikova

This is what I always do every single Saturday morning. I wake up with that beatific feeling of having day off, of being free, there's no schedule, there are no deadlines I have to observe, all I am supposed to do is relaxing. Well, after getting up with such an amazing mood, I go downstairs, grab newspapers and make myself a cup o strong black coffee (I can feel that smell even if I'm just writing about it!), sit down and just enjoy that moment (all of that I'm doing in my old comfy pyjamas). I briefly browse the pages to know what's going on while slowly sipping the hot beverage. At this point my idyll usually ends as my always-on-line-brother comes in, gives me derisive stare and says something satiric about how foolish and ancient I am because of this my old-fashioned habit of reading old-fashioned piece of paper (he though I had never heard about internet) while drinking that old-fashioned drink (he though I had never heard about latte or another modern coffee fake). But being interested in news and newspapers doesn't necessarily mean the lack of being high-tech. Just take a measure, the new journalism museum & Newseum - in Washington, D.C. is about to invite first visitors with its doors wide open. If you are expecting some dust bowl articles such as letterpress printing machine from some God forgotten year or some boring tractate about important American journalists, you'll be probably surprised (in a positive way). This museum offers, for example, interactive kiosk where you can experience being reporter, editor or photographer or 4D movie (movie that is not only about seeing and hearing, but also about smelling and moving your seat). Does this sound old-fashioned? Oh, and let's mention entrance fee. $20.00 is not old-fashioned in any case.
