I recommend visiting the NMUSN if only for the opportunity to see what's inside the Navy Yard's foreboding brick walls. But all you need is a driver's license and a felony-free record, and you can enter the base at the visitors gate at 11th and O streets SE, and then just walk yourself to the museum. It's not impossible, just intimidating - the "Warning, This Property Patrolled by Police Dog Teams" signs and stern men with giant guns certainly gave me pause. Over the years, tightened security has made it more difficult for nonmilitary folks to go inside.
Though the NMUSN is free and open to the public, it's on the Washington Navy Yard - a military base that intentionally deters casual visitors.
Now I want to tell you about a museum that's tough to visit but absolutely jam-packed with fascinating stuff: the National Museum of the United States Navy. Washington: Last month, I wrote about the Naval Heritage Center, a museum that's easy to visit but offers little to see.
