OUTSIDE THE BOX:

This is the last week to see the wonderful "@NatGeo: The Most Popular Instagram Photos" exhibit at the National Geographic Museum (17th & M, near Farragut North). In addition to the photo exhibit, the museum also currently has a hands-on exhibit "Earth Explorers" that teaches kids and adults about techniques National Geographic Explorers employ in the field. Tickets are available online or on site; if you're a National Geographic member or subscriber, there's a discount. http://www.nationalgeographic.org/dc/exhibitions/?period=current  Can't get to the museum?
