The Museum features rotating exhibits that draw on its own collections, as well as relevant traveling exhibits from leading institutions around the world in both its Senator John Alario, Jr. Special Exhibition Hall and Joe W. and Dorothy D. Brown Foundation Special Exhibit Gallery. These exhibits highlight WWII-related subjects not covered in the Museum’s permanent exhibits, as well as more in-depth coverage of subjects that are in its permanent exhibits.
On American Shores: The Aleutian Islands Campaign
This new special exhibit examines the often-overlooked Japanese invasion of the Aleutian Islands in Alaska and the subsequent efforts to repulse the only seizure of North American soil that occurred during World War II.
On display March 26, 2025, through January 11, 2026, in The Joe W. and Dorothy D. Brown Foundation Special Exhibit Gallery
