Is the house where Gene Hackman throws Sean Young through the glass table on 
the tour? (Just watched "No Way Out" again..I've seen all I want to see of 
Washington for a little while. Except maybe the Russian Spy Headquarters.)

It's titled "The Public Vaults" and has some interesting documents in audio as well as video. (Not all is perfect, however, as the Teddy Roosevelt cylinder they are playing and which is in the case - a blue amberol cylinder - is listed on the description as an Edison "wax cylinder". But plan to see the exhibit anyway.
