The Louisiana Memorial Pavilion showcases essential tools of the war effort, including the famous Higgins landing craft. More than 20,000 boats were designed and built in New Orleans and used in all the amphibious landings of World War II. Dwight Eisenhower credited these boats with winning the war for the Allies. Other artifacts include a Sherman tank, jeeps, halftracks and a fully restored C-47.
Permanent exhibit galleries, located on the second and third floor of the Museum, are divided into four areas: The Home Front, Planning for D-Day, The D-Day Beaches and The D-Day Invasions in the Pacific.
The Malcolm S. Forbes Theater features two alternating films focusing on the D-Day invasions at Normandy and in the Pacific, The Price for Peace and D-Day Remembered.

The invasion of Europe at Normandy on June 6, 1944 by the Allied forces was an event the like of which the world would never see again. In what the L.A. Times calls "a kind of filmmaking miracle" D-Day Remembered combines footage and photographs from American, British and German archives with the voices of the participants in the planning and execution of the invasion to create a stunning and unforgettable portrait of "Operation Overlord."
