Assuming you refer to The Declaration of Independence and The US Constitution . . . three . . . Magna Carta is on display there as well

The Jeremiah Denton "T-O-R-T-U-R-E" video mentioned above in a post above is part of an exhibit called "Eyewitness", which is a collection of eyewitness reports from a number of events throughout US history.

Also, the Udvar-Hazy Center/Air and Space Museum in Northern Virginia near IAD. Among other notable airplanes, they've got a Space Shuttle, an SR-71 Blackbird, and Concorde IN THE SAME BUILDING. They have an IMAX theatre there as well. http://www.nasm.si.edu/udvarhazy/

Cheers!
