WASHINGTON – The Newseum is helping the Washington Nationals celebrate a big anniversary.

The exhibit, “Nationals at 10: Baseball Makes News” runs July 31 through Nov. 29, 2015.

“When Washington got baseball back in 2005 the big question was: What’s going to happen, will it survive, will the city embrace the team?” says National’s Vice President of Communications Jennifer Giglio.

“There’s absolutely no question Washington is a baseball town and really has embraced the Nationals,” Giglio tells WTOP.

Adult and senior discount tickets to the Newseum Aug. 1 and 2 are $10. Kids ages 18 and under enter for free through Sept. 7. Find regular admission prices here.
