The National World War II Museum tells the story of the American Experience in the war that changed the world - why it was fought, how it was won, and what it means today - so that all generations will understand the price of freedom and be inspired by what they learn. Dedicated in 2000 as The National D-Day Museum and now designated by Congress as the country's official museum of the Second World War, it celebrates the American Spirit, the teamwork, optimism, courage and sacrifice of the men and women fought on the battlefront and the Home Front. The Museum has completed four phases of a $300 million expansion that, when complete, will create a six-acre campus of exhibition pavilions. Newly opened additions include the 4-D Solomon Victory Theater, Stage Door Canteen and The American Sector Restaurant.
Members to The National World War II Museum are patriotic individuals who enjoy history and have a thirst for knowledge. Their membership entitles them to unlimited regular admission for one year; The National World War II Museum Dog Tag; Subscription to V-Mail, the Museum's quarterly newsletter; 10% discount in the Museum store and the online store; and to have their name listed on The National World War II Museum's Honor Roll of Charter Members.
It is located in New Orleans, Louisiana because it was there that Andrew Higgins built the landing craft used in the amphibious invasions, the landing craft which President Eisenhower believed won the war for the Allies. The Museum stands as our country's tribute to the men and women who made the invasions in Europe, Africa and the Pacific theaters successful. It presents their stories, some provided by the men and women themselves, 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.
