Details

Since its opening in 2000, The National World War II Museum has been the only museum in the United States dedicated to all of the amphibious invasions—or "D-days"—of World War II. Explore the many exhibitions that pay tribute to that fateful day on a visit to this fascinating museum.

Honoring the men and women who completed invasions in Europe, Africa, and the Pacific, this museum presents their stories to an international audience, preserves material for research and scholarship, and inspires future generations to apply the lessons learned from the most complex military operation ever staged.

Exhibits:
The National World War II Museum's exhibit subjects include the June 6, 1944 invasion of Normandy, the Home Front during WWII, and the D-Day Invasions in the Pacific. Exhibit galleries incorporate text panels, artifacts, and Personal Account stations in which visitors may listen to the stories of WWII veterans and others who supported the war effort. We recommend allowing at least two to three hours to tour the museum.

Film Showings:
The Malcolm Forbes Theater shows two exclusive WWII films: D-Day Remembered (Normandy) and Price for Peace (the Pacific). These films, each about 45 minutes long, show daily on an alternating basis beginning with Price for Peace at 9:30 AM, D-Day Remembered at 10:30 AM, and so on. A film is shown every hour on the half-hour. Both films are also available for purchase in the Museum Store.
