Newseum.com is actually a website based off of the actual museum in Washington D.C. because its contents can already be predetermined, designs for the page may be limited and changed only weekly, monthly or semi-annually depending on the rotation. In any event, the task to present the material represents a greater dilemma since readers are unlikely to return every day or so for new content.
In this case, the Newseum front page does an appealing job of creating a website based off of an actual place and that also gives the reader a lot of sources.
In addition to the tabs that may be permanent such as the "buy your tickets" and "plan your visit" tab, the "News" tab offers more articles that appear to publish new articles every few days. The dominant art on this site is a rotating screen of the current exhibits and upcoming events. This is a enticing feature since it may lure in readers with different interests.
The sidebars are neatly placed on both sides of the main screen. But the left offers more journalistic stories while the right is focused mainly on the museum and its presentation.
In general, Newseum.com is very well organized, even though there is a large amount of unused space surrounding the homepage, the space does not seem unused since the text is concisely boxed in and the blue bordering gives a more decorative element.
