Largest memorial on National Mall
This is by far, I think, the largest memorial on the National Mall. It is four rooms, with each room representing one of the four terms of FDR's presidency. You should take your time and go through each room carefully and appreciate not only the beauty of the artwork but understanding what each thing represents. You can easily spend well over an hour seeing and appreciating all of the artwork and information.

Tribute to FDR
This museum takes it's time, splitting FDR's presidency into each of his four terms. The water features were turned off while we were visiting (probably still too cold), but there is much to see, read, and admire. This memorial is not as...flaunty (wish I could think of a better word) as the nearby Jefferson and Lincoln memorials, but that doesn't mean it's not done really well. There are beautiful views as well from this spot.
