Can you get from downtown DC to the Dulles museum via the Metro or do
you have to take a bus?


You can't get anywhere near Dulles on the Metro. Your best bet is the
Smithsonian Shuttle that goes between the two musuems. The closest
you can get on Metro is to go to West Falls Church and catch the coach
up to the Main Terminal, but that places you 4 miles from the museum
with no way to get down there short of taking a cab. I can't explain
why there's no shuttle bus between the terminal and the museum other
than the fact that the parking is CHEAPER at the airport than at the
musueum.
