Though it looks like a modern private school on the outside, the inside is dignified and engaging. Go in and start with the movie in the basement and then meander though the exhibitions on the various genres of JP2’s pontificate. The media is really impressive and the exhibits are well-curated with taste and reverence. The chapels are gaudy, with an almost-Vegas-like sparkle which is irrelevant to any aspect of Wojtyła’s life. That part is just too bad.

If you enjoy the Basilica you must also make time to see this shrine. A gorgeous church, a chapel with a blood relic, and a full museum complete with films and artifacts. It's very modern bit really beautiful.
Drove 30 minutes on an icy day to go to confession, only to be turned away by the security guard b/c the line was too long.
One of the best museums in Washington. In an interesting and modern way, it shows John Paul II and his influence on the fate of the world. Free entrance.
If you were touched by this great man and Saint, you must visit the shrine. Honored to pray before his relic.
