I visited recently after 20 years and a lot had changed, but a lot had stayed the same. The staff are still helpful and we were lucky to have several volunteers share their knowledge with us. Big thanks to them for sharing their time. The Wooly Mammoth is still there and several awesome dinosaur fossils. The museum is still free and easy to get to with our metro system. The dinosaur section has gone through a redesign that offers a lot more dinosaurs and interactive displays. My daughter loved it. I very much appreciated being able to see the scientists at work with fossils. My daughter loved that! The ocean and modern animal sections were also great. I feel like those areas have grown. We used the restrooms several times and they were rather clean. The good options downstairs were typical American cuisine and a bit over priced, but that was the only down side. I love this place and I hope to be back in the future.

But the whole thing was just screens and words to me. The animal parts were really fun, but the rest felt super super modern and basically like a textbook was printed on the wall. It didn't have any of the magic. I did not feel like reading paragraphs on the wall, I wanted to see actual stuff. And there was some stuff, but all the screens and modern-ness kinda killed it for me. As someone who didn't want to read or be in the middle of a pre-school field trip, this museum only took me 45 min. If you have never been to a Natural History Museum, definitely go. If you have been to any of the other ones, you can skip.

He does a great job of teaching both the physical aspect of playing the piano and the musical aspect of each piece. His studio is a wonderful community to be a part of. His students come from a diverse set of backgrounds and professions, and Matthew highly encourages the social aspect of music. He is a great person, and I look forward to my lesson with him each week. I have absolutely no doubt that he is the best piano teacher in the DMV, and I highly recommend him.

Where the other teachers focused on teaching how to play individual pieces, Matthew teaches how to play the piano. With a rigorous focus on developing proper technique and an understanding of the music, I am learning the skills that will truly enable me to play to my potential. He is a masterful diagnostician, focusing in on the student's individual needs and providing targeted exercises to overcome each challenge and promote growth and progress. I have come to piano later in life, with little prior experience. I feared my inexperience and age would be a barrier, but nothing could be further than the truth. Matthew has made me feel as welcome and valued as his most proficient students. If this all was not enough, Matthew composes very beautiful music of his own, that as his students we get to listen to, as well as learn and play. It is a really special experience. Studio V is not just a place to come for piano lessons, though. It is a place to join an expansive and welcoming community of people that share a love of music. I cannot recommend Matthew and Studio V highly enough.

I was surfing the web for Tai Chi classes and found the Chinatown Community & Cultural Center! Er…read morethe best part about their classes - tis FREE!!! The Center is situated on the 2nd floor in a swanky looking office building just round the corner from Gallery Place Metro station. The first time I went there, I got horribly lost and the irony is that no one could tell me where the Center was located when I asked (I asked for directions from the owner of a souvenir shop on the same street and from the noodle restaurant round the corner) ! I was working under the mistaken assumption that the Chinatown businesses would know this place!!! Ah well. If you are walking from Gallery Place, the Center is located on the 2nd floor of the building between 7th and 6th St in the middle of H street. Look out for the sign to the Metropolitan Police Department's Asian Liaison Unit. The Asian Liaison Unit is on the first floor and the Center is one floor up. As you walk through the side lobby, you'd know you're in the right place cos there are display cases showing off handicrafts made at the Center's various classes. The Center's website says that their mission is to "preserve and promote Chinatown and celebrate Chinese culture, history, language, and heritage" and boy do they offer lots of programs - some of which are free! Class schedules and info are listed on their website. Some of the classes offered are: martial arts classes (tai chi and kung fu), language classes, art and calligraphy classes & chinese instrument classes. The martial arts classes are free while the art class cost ($15 a lesson - pay as you go) and calligraphy at ($8 a lesson). Quite a bargain! I attended the tai chi class and it was quite a workout. I was apprehensive about attending the class cos I wasnt sure if it would be in "Chinese" but the class instructor spoke English! (Before class - I had nightmares of me standing in the middle of class not understanding instructions given in Chinese and going right when everyone went left!!!) Am looking forward to checking out the rest of the programs available.

The Old Korean Legation Museum is a small off-the-National-Mall museum in a historic mansion along…read moreLogan Circle. The mansion was built in 1877 and became the Korean Legation in 1889. Essentially what that means is it served to establish diplomatic relations with what's now become modern North and South Korean. That ended in 1905 when Japan deprived the Korean Empire of their diplomatic sovereignty. The building was sold. For decades, Koreans in Washington, D.C. vowed to one day restore the building and in 2012, it happened. The mansion was sold back to Korea and underwent renovations. Today it's the only historic diplomatic building in the city restored to its original appearance. The building itself takes 20-30 minutes to walk through. It's free, but they do ask you to take off your shoes and wear slippers while in the mansion. There are three floors. The first two have the rooms (a dining room, bedroom, library, bathroom, etc) restored to its original appearance. The third floor is a small museum exhibit telling the history of the building. The third floor also has a beautiful view of Logan Circle. When you arrive, the gentleman in charge of the mansion will ask you watch a 6-minute film about the mansion. Then you are free to explore on your own. Outside is a small garden. If you enjoy interesting experiences, this is a unique find in DC!
