Segment 2, beginning at 24:13: Three institutions in the nation's capital that are considered gems among its many museums.

In keeping up with the times all use technology to some extent to compliment the stories and collections they exhibit but, "The last thing you want is someone leaving your museum remembering the technology ... you want people leaving your museum remembering the content," said Vince Houghton of the International Spy Museum.
