  National Gallery of Art, Sculpture Garden, National Archives, Supreme Court, Library of Congress

National Gallery of Art, Sculpture Garden, Typewriter Eraser National Archives, Declaration of Independence
We were amused by this sculpture of a giant Typewriter Eraser at the National Gallery of Art's Sculpture Garden. At the National Archives we saw the original Declaration of Independence, which is so faded that few words can be still be read.
National Archives, Constitution, Bill of Rights Supreme Court Building
To the right of the Declaration are the four pages of the Constitution, and to the right of that is the Bill of Rights. We started our fourth day in DC at the Supreme Court Building.
Supreme Court Building marble & brass spiral staircase Library of Congress building exterior
Unfortunately, the public is no longer allowed to walk up this 5-story marble & brass spiral staircase. Right next door to the Supreme Court is the Library of Congress.
Library of Congress building interior Library of Congress building interior
The interior architecture of the Library of Congress is stunning. You might think you are in an old cathedral in Europe. This is one of two staircases leading to the second floor.
