Smithsonian museum at Dulles

There is a shuttle bus that goes from the Smithsonian at the Mall to the one
at Dulles. The Dulles museum is well worth seeing.

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

Thanks,

Everyone in DC rides the Metro. It is brilliantly designed, fast,
reasonably priced, and safe. I have ridden it from Greenbelt in the
north to Vienna in the southwest, from 7 a.m. to midnight, and I've
never felt a qualm.
There are no cops on the Metro, and no muggers either, and almost no
vagrants. It is rarely crowded. It may well be the best public
transport system in the world.

You have to take the dedicated NASM bus from the museum on the Mall.
The Metro plus bus will get you to Dulles (it's actually about the
same price, say two bucks on the Metro and five bucks on the Dulles
bus) but then you are nowhere near Udvar-Hazy. You'd have to take a
cab.

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.

The only transportation to the Udvar-Hazy Center is the "NASM Express"
which goes between the downtown museum and the Udvar-Hazy Center. See
the NASM webpage (www.nasm.si.edu) for details.

Maybe its worse with M.S streets since it only seems to show the

I was driving home with GPS guidance last fall (Garmin 286) and was
astonished to find NH 108 identified as New Hampshire College Highway.
I have lived in this area since 1950 and never heard it called that.
(NH College became UNH in 1928
