Antiques Roadshow comes to Washington!
For the first time in 15 seasons, Antiques Roadshow came to Washington last summer to record three new episodes, giving some lucky WETA viewers the opportunity to have their prized antiques appraised.
It was a sight to behold and WETA was on hand to document it. Check out our behind the scenes look at last summer's taping and then tune in starting May 23 to watch the DC episodes!
