declaration of independance?

Question

so my teacher was talking about it in class, and he said it was in washington dc at the national archives.
is it like a museum or only like a safe place to keep it?
cause a student asked my teacher the same thing and he just looked at her and didnt answer back.

Answer 1

A museum is supposed to be a safe place to keep things.

You can visit the Declaration of Independence in person, if you want. And the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, too, although they seem to be obsolete, these days.

The National Archives Building is located in Washington DC on Constitution Ave NW between 7th and 9th St.

Through Labor Day, it's open 10 A.M. - 7 P.M.
Then through March 14, it's open 10 A.M. - 5:30 P.M.

Answer 2

Both actually it is a very very safe place but it is also a museum an a sense. It is where a lot if important documents are keep regarding this nation. You can look it up on-line and learn more about it just go to google and type in National Archives and you should see the website for it on the first or second page of results. =)

Answer 3

The National Archives is a conservatory containing many important historical documents, including the Declaration of Independence. It is a museum, of sorts, and some of the documents, like the Declaration, are on display,but they are very well protected. If you want to get an idea of the kinds of safeguards there are around it, watch "National Treasure."

Answer 4

Watch the movie NATIONAL TREASURE (Nicholas Cage) and you'll see exactly the place- it's filmed there.

It's actually a disappointing thing to see. You stand in line for more than an hour during peak times, then you only spend a few seconds with it and it's become so faded over the centuries it's illegible. You're better off spending the time at the Smithsonian or one of D.C.'s gazillion other attractions.

Answer 5

It's in a museum.
