You can use these passes for special exhibits, panels or for the somewhat surreal viewing room where everyone has headphones on, some hysterically laughing, some crying at tragedy. Your “neighbors” may be viewing Martin Luther King’s Let Freedom Ring speech or perhaps, Man on the Moon. Or even an old Electric Company episode you really want to see now too after getting a glimpse again…. More from Fodor’s: Three galleries of photographs and artifacts document the history of broadcasting in this 1989 limestone building by Philip Johnson and John Burgee. But the main draw here is the computerized catalog of more than 100,000 television and radio programs. Type the name of the song, show or performer into a computer terminal. You can then proceed to a private screening area to watch your selection.
