Newseum recently hosted a group of editors I belong to and pretty much just turned over a large part of the building. Free everything, including having Newseum staff providing services (serving food, cleanup, etc). Probably indicative of why they're in financial trouble.

It's also in an incredibly big building in a pretty expensive part of town. It's massive, but it's also more massive than it needs to be since so much of it is just open overlooking the lobby.  One of the downsides of being a private museum. You can't just put it in South East DC, but it' not like they can just set up shop on the Mall.
