‘Every Four Years: Presidential Campaigns and the Press’ Exhibit Opens at the Newseum (photos)

Every four years, Americans elect a president, and candidates and reporters face off on the campaign trail. On Feb. 17, just in time for Presidents’ Day weekend, the Newseum is opening a new election year exhibit, “Every Four Years: Presidential Campaigns and the Press” featuring 120 artifacts from elections past. The exhibit will be open through the next inauguration day and will close Jan. 27, 2013. It is sponsored by the American Association of University Women (AAUW) and The Washington Examiner. A 250,000-square-foot interactive museum of news, the Newseum is located at the intersection of Pennsyvania Ave. and Sixth St., NW, in Washington, D.C.
