Synopsis: 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.
