The National WWII Museum

The National WWII 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.

For nearly 25 years, The National WWII Museum has preserved and shared stories of the men and women who helped secure Allied victory in World War II. As the 80th anniversary of V-E Day approaches on May 8, we invite you to honor their sacrifice by supporting our mission this GiveNOLA Day. Your donation helps bring history to life-through immersive exhibits, powerful personal accounts, and transformative educational programs that reach millions each year. With your help, we can continue engaging new generations and ensuring that the legacies of World War II endure. Join us in honoring the WWII generation and finding inspiration from their service. Every gift counts. Give today!

A Must See for New Orleans! This one will test your history of the war. Covers all aspects of it from Europe to the south Pacific. I would allow a full day here, unless you run through the exhibits...
