Decent experience but probably not worth the price tag of $34 per person. Would advise going off peak as moving around can be tight. Ac was good but some of the rooms were musty.

The O Museum was absolutely amazing and such a unique experience. It felt different from anything else we did, in the best way. Every room had something interesting to look at, discover, or talk about, and it truly felt like a special little adventure. It was such a treat to walk through a place with so much character, history, creativity, and charm. The whole experience felt fun, memorable, and completely one of a kind. It was not just a museum visit, it felt like exploring a hidden world. I would highly recommend The O Museum to anyone looking for something different, interesting, and unforgettable. It was such a wonderful experience and absolutely worth visiting.

I’m kind of a bathroom aficionado so this review will only highlight the vast and varied collection of bathrooms at the O Museum. A couple of interesting tidbits, Rosa Parks lived in the mansion for nearly 10 years and the building was converted into rooming houses for FBI Director, J Edgar Hoover’s undercover agents in the 1930s. What’s not to fall in love with?

A beautiful beginning & a space for everyone! Take your time with this one. There are so many treasures to appreciate & sometimes the scary room is better when you go with someone - make friends! The staff was so sweet & friendly and Ms HH was a delight to know.

Trust and believe that no pictures or video will do this place justice --- it is truly something that is an EXPERIENCE to be EXPERIENCED in person. I whole heartedly recommend this place if you enjoy exploration. We had reservations for 2pm and time went by so quickly because the rooms and exhibits kept us entertained. Its also a fun place to play "I spy..." or "Im looking for..." , we also met the propietor outside and she was wonderfully friendly.

This place is an absolute hidden gem that should interest anyone looking for a fun and fascinating place in DC. The place is a mini Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with loads and loads of pop culture and news, nostalgia and art galore. And the fun goes beyond that. Loads of hidden doors coupled with multiple interactive activities make this an experience that is incomparable.
