When done right, museum exhibits can convey a great amount of information while looking clean, simple, and beautiful. But it takes thousands of hours of work to distill any complex topic down to digestible form. Join Museum Curator and Restoration Manager Cory Graff as he discusses re-envisioning the special exhibit Fighting for the Right to Fight: African American Experiences in World War II, both for The National WWII Museum in New Orleans and for the road. With computer interactives, custom films, interactive oral histories, and nearly 100 rare artifacts, Fighting for the Right to Fight is one of the biggest and most complicated special exhibitions the Museum has created to date.

Fighting for the Right to Fight will be open before and after the program. Click here to learn more about the exhibit.

Dinner with a Curator is an evening of dinner and history hosted by The American Sector Restaurant & Bar culinary team and Museum professionals. Guests participate in discussion on a featured topic related to World War II, which is interpreted through the Museum's collection and a theme-inspired four-course dinner paired with beverage specials. Ticket sales end 48 hours prior to the start of the event.
