No Access Washington, DC

No Access Washington, DC tells a story of the nation's capital through places in, near, under, over, or around the city-a collection of spaces that most people don't see, can't see, rarely see, don't know how to see, or haven't seen. Come journey beneath DC's most iconic buildings like the massive undercroft below the Lincoln Memorial and discover hidden-in-plain-sight wonders such as the mini Washington Monument or a neighborhood home that is a thriving habitat for plastic dinosaurs. Journey deep into historic archives, embassies, theaters, and studios. Imagine ringing the bells at the National Cathedral. NoAccess Washington, DC is a tribute to a side of the city not shown on postcards, but that is gaze-worthy all the same. What a fun way to "explore" the capital.
