Brent Simmons – The National Museum of the Marine Corps – Blog Three

This Museum, before all else, is a monument to the sacrifices of Marines and their families. The exhibits go through the the history of the marine corp and talks about not just their wartime efforts, but also the efforts of the Marines at home. This Museum has two parts, the main building and a chapel. The Chapel has glass on all sides, allowing a lot of natural light into the building. It feels much more spacious and open than a normal chapel. The main building seems to be built similarly at first, but is much more closed off once you start going into the exhibits. The first and only time I visited the museum was because our car had just been rear ended and so we were waiting for it to get some repairs, so we had quite a bit of time to explore the building.
